WHAT'S ON TV (UK): Matt Smith reveals The Doctor’s Christmas secrets
Dec 6, 2011
This year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe, is set in wartime Britain and a futuristic forest. War widow Madge Arwell and her children, Lily and Cyril, have been evacuated to a quaint house in the countryside. There they meet a mysterious chap calling himself The Caretaker – in fact, it’s The Doctor! Matt Smith tells What’s On TV more secrets about this ‘very Christmassy’ adventure...
... Q: What happens to the Doctor and the family at Christmas?
Matt Smith: “There’s a sort of slow-burning magic to the story and it has a Narnia-esque feel to it – they all get to crawl through this mysterious blue present and into an enchanted forest that looked amazing. They covered this forest in snow. It looks incredible. We covered whole forests in snow. The scale of it is vast and it feels magical. We never see that in this country. It’s never THAT snowy.”
Q: Is there a monster in the forest?
Matt Smith: “There is a monster. There is a threat in this magical world, a definite threat. I’ll keep the monster as a surprise. It’s one of our best. The design of it is classic. There are others in the forest, too, who are like forestry workers in these great armoured suits. Their leader is played by comedian Bill Bailey!”
Doctor Who's 'The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe' is on BBC1, Christmas Day at 7pm in the UK, and in the USA, airs December 25, 2011 at 9/8C on BBC America.
