The seal on the Quality Street hasn’t even be broken yet and already you can pre order this year’s Christmas special – Last Christmas on DVD and Blu Ray or the ‘tangible formats’ as no one calls them.
The festive episode which charts the Doctor’s involvement in the rise and fall of Wham (including playing the maracas on Andrew Ridgeley’s Son of Albert), from their early years performing at… no wait, hang on.
The festive episode sees the Doctor and Clara face their Last Christmas: Trapped on an arctic base and under attack from terrifying creatures, who are you going to call? Santa Claus! We’ve already been promised an edgy ‘gangster’ Santa by Nick Frost, a ‘very scary and very jolly’ episode by Peter Capaldi and who knows just how definitive that ‘last’ Christmas really is for Clara?
So should we expect a whimsical mix of John W Campbell, The Tenth Planet, Alien, and John Carpenter then?
An interesting point to be gleaned from this early release is the certification which, yet to be confirmed, is a ‘12’ – although that could be because of the bonus content and, of course, it is being broadcast at 18:15 Christmas Day.
The extras include a sole behind the scenes feature.
Starring Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman and Nick Frost, Doctor Who: Last Christmas is set to be released in the UK on 26 January 2015 and is available to pre-order for £11.49 on Blu-ray and £9.49 on DVD.
