A Very Dalek Christmas...

Last year (or rather Christmas 2018), there wasn't a Doctor Who Christmas special. It actually went out on New Year's Day. It didn't feel right. Over a decade of Christmas teatime specials and suddenly it was gone. 

Well, you know my attitude. If you want something that you can't get then make it yourself... and sod 'em. 

Which is what I did - producing the Radio Times cover and Blu-ray packaging for my own made-up Doctor Who Christmas Special 2018 in which the thirteenth Doctor and her fam battle the Weeping Angels who are using their images on Christmas cards to bring terror to the festive period. "The image of a Weeping Angel IS a Weeping Angel!"

Fast forward to Christmas 2019 and we don't even have a New Year's Day special. Actually, it's just the first episode of the new series - special but not special in a SPECIAL way. 

So i did another one. This time featuring the Daleks who are using the front of a travelling festive holiday fair to infiltrate the US defence system during Christmas 1962. (And the DW producers say they've ran out of Christmas ideas for the specials...)

Here is the visual result in the form of the Radio Times and the official Blu-ray release. 

Happy Easter folks. x

If you've enjoyed this little piece of Doctor Who hokum, then you might want to buy the author a coffee via his Ko-fi account. He also has a gallery there so you don't have to wade through all the crappy stuff on this blog to get to the good bits.
