Cover blurb:
For nearly two decades, the Doctor Who Christmas specials have been a national institution, delighting families with festive adventures, laughs, and a touch of timey wimey chaos. Now, with potentially no Christmas special this year, Candy Jar is releasing the ultimate celebration in Doctor Who Christmas Specials edited by Baz Greenland. When Doctor Who returned to screens in 2005 after a sixteen-year absence, the show was reborn for a twenty-first-century audience. Showrunner Russell T Davies traded the classic multi-part serials for faster-paced, emotionally charged forty-five-minute adventures, packed with comedy, mystery, and epic finales. From the shock of Harold Saxon’s reveal as the Master, to the mind-bending Bad Wolf storyline, Davies’ modern Doctor Who changed the rules, and the Christmas specials became a key part of that revolution. Featuring essays and insights from writers including Jonathan Appleton, Kevin Heritage, TD Valesquez, PJ Montgomery, Peter Shaw, Philip Bates, Sean Mason, Tony Black, Matt Dennis, Darren Mooney, Craig McKenzie, Hugh McStay, Tom Dexter, Verity Russell, Joe Glass, and Lee Thacker, this book is the perfect festive gift for fans old and new. |
