Cover blurb:
“I despise Christmas”

Christmas Day 2010. In both the UK, and for the first time the US too, viewers had the opportunity to see how the traditional Doctor Who Christmas Special fared under a new production team and a new actor in the leading role.

Drawing inspiration from a perennially popular Christmas story, Steven Moffat presents a fairy tale of Sardicktown; where sharks glide through the foggy skies, carols are a catalyst for a miser’s redemption and time can be rewritten.

In this Black Archive, Jamie Beckwith and Leslie Grace McMurtry explore Charles Dickens’ contribution to the celebration of Christmas as we know it today. Along the way they take in adaptation studies, heritage branding, a detailed analysis of production design and interrogate the ethics of interference.

Jamie Beckwith and Leslie Grace McMurtry are the team behind The Terrible Zodin and Yes, Virginia, This is a Podcast.

Book-length looks at single Doctor Who stories from 1963 to the present day

“A grandly ambitious thing to attempt with something as exhaustively detailed as (Doctor Who). But they actually manage it. Treat your bookshelf."
