Dr Who Xmas Special

[ffutures]

Interesting episode and a lot of fun - one obvious thought...



Has The Doctor changed history, or is this just one of the things that was always that way but nobody ever knew. E.g., would the crew of the bomber have otherwise died, or were they historically drifting in a life raft for several days, or unreported POWs?

Nice to see an episode that didn't ship the Doctor with anyone for a change, and had a more or less unambiguously happy ending.

I would vote for down in the Channel for a few days.

The Lancaster was not an unchanging focus point of time, unlike the failed Mars colony and the Doctor could have the PM cover the plane turning up intact 4 days later.

I really like the Mother character resourceful in her own right.

And completely unflappable in the face of mysterious space-suited figures and timey-wimey stuff generally.
