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.

We never really saw the text of the telegram. Maybe they were just missing, and presumed dead, and they always got sucked through the time stream.

(And the Doctor puts in a call to his friend Winston, to make sure no one asks any awkward questions about how the plane got to Dorset.)

Okay, I had another look at the beginning, and the telegram lists him as "LOST OVER THE CHANNEL". Which implies that they didn't recover any wreckage, or bodies.

There is also a bright light appearing in the sky, just before the cut away to the Mother.
