Christmas Theatre TV

The 39 Steps is on at some point as well..
but when i flicked through the Christmas TV mag, there were so many musicals on, i was quite shocked!

I know it is not a musical or show, but there is a west end special of Weakest Link on 28th Decemeber!

'Doctor Who' on Christmas day! That's theatre-related.

Also looking forward to 'The 39 Steps' on Boxing day. ^_^

Doctor Who....ugh :P

i've always looked foward to it, but i just don't think this special looks all that good..?

Sam, you are a young man and admire your input and knowledge on here and would not want to patronise you, far from it. I was using your age to get a irony out that the TV roles out same sort of thing every year, it definitely was not to rib, patronise, embarrass you, or belittle you. So if it offended you and in the meantime keep the posts up on here.

Dr Who doesn't excite me very much this year for Christmas because the story was lifted from one of the CD Dramas that came out a good 2-3 years ago and originally featured Colin Baker (who really shines on audio thanks to FAR better writers than he had on the telly.)

The really awesome two-parter with the scarecrows was lifted from an earlier Who story though, and that didn't lessen the episodes any. :P

I do like David Tennant, and being the Who n00b that I am he will always be "my" Doctor, but while I'm fond of him, I could survive quite well without him. Indeed, the world seems to turn a little smoother without him, what with all the 'Doctor Who' fangirls returning their 'Hamlet' tickets thus allowing me to see it more times than originally anticipated.

I am shocked and appalled that 'The 39 Steps' is not actually Boxing day! They've moved it to the 28th! I'm still looking forward to it though.
