🎄 It’s 2010, and I’m hiding in a closet from a flying shark that ate half my screwdriver. 

I’ve finally caught up with the timeline of people who have been requesting that I watch the “Doctor Who” Christmas specials. 

🎙 Andre Bennett, Jack Ford from the Total Christmas Podcast, and Anthony Strand from ToughPigs.com join me for a twisted take on “A Christmas Carol” starring Michael Gambon in the Scrooge role and the 11th Doctor as at least 2 ghosts of Christmas.

Andre’s review of this episode from 2011. 

Anthony ranks all of Steven Moffat’s “Doctor Who” episodes. 

Amy and Rory’s outfits may or may not be but probably are a nod to a similar scene in a 2001 “Only Fools and Horses” Christmas special. 

Michael Gambon in “Toys,” as the Ultragorgon on Jim Henson’s “Monster Maker,” and as the Ghost of Christmas Present in 2001’s “Christmas Carol: The Movie.” 

Abigail is basically Nora Fries from Batman. 

Katherine Jenkins on “Dancing with the Stars.”
