Do you agree with our Doctor Who Christmas episodes ranking order?
For the second special in a row, Doctor Who ushers in the new year with a Dalek, but sadly this isn’t a patch on 2020's Resolution of the Daleks. With Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor incarcerated on a distant prison asteroid, a new threat is brewing back on Earth. It turns out that Jack Robertson – the immoral businessman played by Chris Noth in series 11’s Arachnids in the UK – is manufacturing defense drones that look aWhat could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, actually.
While the episode can’t compete with Hollywood for scale, this is a semi-fun, popcorny adventure in which alien brains are taking control of world leaders. Showrunner Steven Moffat also finds a way to incorporate comic-book mythology into proceedings – the Ghost is powered by an alien gemstone! – as well as squeezing in plenty of in-jokes. Still, as a spectacle, it could've been better.A slightly odd Christmas special in the sense that it’s nestled right in the middle of series 7.
The story feels over-sentimental at times, but there’s a nice environmental message in the mission to save a forest from lethal acid rain. The living wood creatures are one of the more memorable aliens of the Matt Smith era, while Outnumbered’s Claire Skinner provides the episode’s emotional anchor as the eponymous widow.
Much like 2005 episode Dalek, Resolution does everything it can to remind the world why they should be scared of a bunch of pepperpots with anger issues. Having a human host possessed by the squiddy bit of the Dalek gives the story an icky, horror-esque twist. And though the DIY Dalek looks a bit like cosplay, it still has the capacity to exterminate like a pro.
David Bradley deftly steps into original Who star William Hartnell’s shoes, bringing great warmth to an incarnation often written off as curmudgeonly. The First World War-set plot isn’t particularly memorable, but when it comes to pure, joyous fan service, Twice Upon a Time really hits the spot.As well as being the special that began the tradition of Who at Christmas , The Christmas Invasion is the first episode headlined by David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor.
