<\/a>It wouldn\u2019t be a typical Christmas for me without jumping in my TARDIS and spending an hour in the UK watching the Dr. Who Christmas special<\/a>. (Surely you wouldn\u2019t expect a time lord to wait until it is shown in the US, would you?) All I\u2019ll say is that it is fantastic, with some footage near the beginning which I\u00a0hope to\u00a0clip and include at some point in my religion and sci-fi course.<\/p>\n

And the ending (which is a cliffhanger until part two airs on New Year\u2019s Day)\u00a0will leave you in thrilling suspense.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll resist the temptation to just jump in my TARDIS and watch the second part now. Takes all the fun out of it, that does!<\/p>\n
