With such a commendable third addition to the brilliant This is England story, it’s no surprise that far more than fistful of fans are rooting for a forth.
The five exclusive Night and the Doctor mini-episodes showcase Steven Moffat’s trademark wit, interest in the non-linear complexities of time travel and way with a cheeky one-liner.
You can’t help but smile. It’s The Doctor. At Christmas. Just sit back with your selection box and watch him shine.
Your brain is empty when it comes round to thinking of what to give your Auntie Linda this Christmas, until it finally strikes you: Kill List is the ideal yuletide treat for a loved one.
