It’s just a matter of hours until the Doctor fights some of his scariest opponents in the 2013 Doctor Who Christmas Special “The Time of the Doctor,” and we have plenty of new clips to quench your thirst for the last few hours!
The Doctor Who 2013 Christmas special “The Time of the Doctor” airs tonight on BBC One at 7:30 p.m. GST, and will air in the US on BBC America at 9:00 p.m. ET.
The synopsis for the episode reads:
Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe’s deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars. And amongst them – the Doctor. Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.
And don’t forget to check out these clips that the BBC has released this week from the preview! We’ve got three clips in total, and in addition to those, we even have a field report from Strax!
In the first Doctor Who clip it seems that Clara and the Doctor have messed up their Christmas turkey. Clara tries to get the Doctor to use the sonic screwdriver on it, but he points out that it doesn’t do turkey, and they’d need a time machine. Queue mischievous look from Clara!
In the second clip released by the BBC, it looks like it’s actually the scene before the turkey fiasco released previously. Clara calls the Doctor up and says that she’s accidentally made up a boyfriend; she’s told her family she has a boyfriend who’s coming to Christmas dinner, and she wants the Doctor to be that boyfriend. Meanwhile, the Doctor is fiddling around in the TARDIS and looking at alien ships on the screen all while holding a severed Cyberman head! What the devil has he gotten himself into?!
In the third and final clip from the BBC, the Doctor and Clara are joined by Tasha Lem, who wishes to speak to the Doctor privately. The Doctor states that anything she wants to say to him she can say in front of Clara, and then corrects himself by saying almost anything, and then rather almost half of anything, and then he reconsiders and asks Clara to wait outside. She then retorts with, “No worries, you two go get yourselves a room.” The Doctor responds with, “Yes. Quite. No! Stop it,” and Clara then responds with, “Boss of the psycho space nuns? So you.” We have to agree. It’s so him.
And then, finally, there’s Strax’s field report! This time he’s explaining that he’s just discovered what Christmas is, and he just doesn’t get why there aren’t any weapons involved in the gift giving. Oh, Strax! The video isn’t available for embed, but you can check it out on BBC’s YouTube page.
