DOCTOR WHO - BBC VIDEO: 'THE SNOWMEN' PREVIEWS - DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - AIRS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2012 AT 9/8C ON BBC AMERICA

Look… It’s the Christmas Special… Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and introducing Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara, his new companion, this year’s Christmas Special is called The Snowmen and follows their adventures as they battle the villainous Doctor Simeon (Richard E Grant) and his army of sinister snowmen.

It promises to be a movie-scale episode and aside from Clara’s debut and the return of Strax (Dan Starkey), Vastra (Neve McIntosh) and Jenny (Catrin Stewart), The Snowmen introduces a new look for the Doctor and a new monster that will have families shivering behind their sofas. You can check out shots from the special in a new gallery, now.

Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, said, ‘The Doctor at Christmas is one of my favourite things - but this year it's different. He's lost Amy and Rory to the Weeping Angels, and he's not in a good place: in fact, he's Scrooge. He's withdrawn from the world and no longer cares what happens to it. So when all of humanity hangs in the balance, can anyone persuade a tired and heartbroken Doctor that it's time to return to the good fight? Enter Jenna-Louise Coleman…’



(Dr. Simeon (Richard E. Grant), courtesy of BBC.)

Matt Smith, who plays the Doctor, commented, ‘For this year’s Christmas Special we have the wonderfully villainous Richard E Grant as Doctor Simeon. As well as lizards, Victorian assassins and deranged warriors from the future all return to convince the Doctor that he should board the TARDIS again and save the world. Add to that Jenna-Louise Coleman and so begins the Christmas Special, 2012. I hope everyone enjoys it!’

Ken Burns’ The Dust Bowl blots out the sun with its sheer massiveness

TOP PICK

The Dust Bowl

(PBS, 8 p.m.)


This isn’t typical of all documentaries directed by perpetual filmmaking machine Ken Burns, but you may want to invest in some quality stereo equipment to enjoy Burns’ take on the ecological disaster that befell the Great Plains in the 1930s—you’ll really want to feel the apocalyptic rumbling of huge sand-and-soil clouds sweeping through the middle United States. You may also want to consider the fact that, under the right circumstances, such a widespread catastrophe could befall the country all over again—which is why Todd VanDerWerff is a tireless advocate for crop rotation.
