The new Doctor Who Magazine issue #441 – which is out today – takes a first-look peek at this year’s upcoming Christmas special with an “in-depth” interview with Doctor Who’s producer, Marcus Wilson:
It’s Christmas turned up to 12. It’s the most Christmassy Christmas Special we’ve ever seen. It’s a lovely, heart-warming, touching tale. It’s literally magical. It’s full of the usual concoction of things that spew out of Steven’s imagination. You’re going, ‘How can you have that and that in the same story?’ – and yet it works...
