2011 Christmas Special details

Skinner, as you are probably aware, was snapped last week on set (Blogtor covered the story HERE) whilst Armstrong has already "appeared" in Doctor Who in the Series 4 finale as the voice of Sarah Jane's computer, Mr Smith. Bailey appeared in an "Actor Wishlist" from Blogtor back in 2010 HERE.

The one hour special sees The Doctor in war-torn England embarking on a magical and mysterious adventure with a young widow and her two children. It will be directed by newcomer to Doctor Who, Farren Blackburn. From the BBC:
