Doctor Who Christmas Specials feature companions who show up only once , but there ’s a deeper meaning under all that beyond the heavy names .
Doctor WhoChristmas Specials are now a time - honoured tradition . The Gods of the series , or rather the showrunnersRussell T. DaviesandSteven Moffat , have spoken ! Let ’s pretendChris Chibnallputting them on methamphetamine in favour of New Year Specials was just a hallucination . Or a ambition . Or a impermanent pin into an alternate macrocosm . Or temporary collective brain wrong . And what come with Christmas specials ? New companions who only show up once in the Christmas special ! ADoctor WhoChristmas means aone - off fellow ! That ’s been a tradition in the modern epoch of the show .
Christmas forDoctor Whomeans a self - moderate one - off story , though some of them are special event , like the first one in 2005 featuringDavid Tennant ’s debt as the Tenth Dr. . Christmas specials are still guess to be special issue on top of being Christmassy . It ’s celebrating the spirit of Christmas , and one thing TV specials have always done when collapse a chance is to get a high-pitched - visibility guest star . Kylie Minoguewas a huge get , considering she ’s one of the satellite ’s prominent popular stars . And Russell T. Davies down her off in it ! Yeah , yeah , you’re able to say she might be back , but do you really believe that ? you could see the one - off companions who guest star on Doctor Who in a compiling video below that sometimes feels like a cry for help .
There’s A LOT of Death in Doctor Who Christmas Specials
This is a feature , not a hemipterous insect . Just calculate at everyDoctor WhoChristmas Special . masses exit in them . And never just the one!Steven Moffat , who has write the most Christmas special , killed two Doctors in Christmas Specials – the Eleventh and the Twelfth ( Peter Capaldi ) so they reform . Even the First Doctor ( David Bradley ) and frequent contributorMark Gatissgot to be one - off companions in Moffat ’s final Christmas Special as showrunner . Jenna Colemaneven picture up as a one - off familiar translation of Clara in the nineteenth Century before she became a fellow traveller because Moffat just ca n’t resist being meta . She was vote down off as both a one - off companion in a Christmas special and a steady companion later . She was well-nigh kill off in her last Christmas special , but she changed her mind and decided to rest for another season , and Moffat rewrote the end . It ’s all meta and weirdly perverse .
Ultimately , Doctor Whois about teach children about destruction and acceptance and appreciating the mo that you have , and the Christmas special do that more than most .
