Doctor Who - A Christmas Carol 2010 - Edited Ending

Having his past timeline altered and was shown his own past, present and future by the Doctor and Amy, Kazran had to confront a hard moral choice - he could either let a starliner to crash land and the 4003 passengers on board would perish, or he could choose - as a redemption - to release his love-frozen Abigail who has one last Christmas left to live.

Though it was not explained to Amy (and the audience) and Moffat has left the episode open-ended, I would like to believe that the doctor, as a Christmas goodwill gesture, had secretly and subsequently re-written Abigail's timeline to remove her terminal illness, in order for her to reunite with the now-reformed Kazran for Christmas day and beyond.

Moffat promised a heart-warming, "Dickens's like" Christmas tale and he certainly did not disappoint. Broadcasted at primetime on Christmas day, the episode was tailored for family orientated viewing interwoven with romance, humour, the doctor's timey-wimey, CGI shark and spaceship, rich vs poor, a tale of moral and choices vs cruel and kindness, Katherine Jenkins' TV debut and her angelic singing, and of course -- the joy of more snow!

Thank you very much BBC and the DW team for giving me a beautiful episode as a Christmas present.

Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did and let's see if Stetson are going to be cool in the new series!

I inserted a few flashbacks scenes (albeit in lower resolution and with video effects applied). Certain parts of Katherine Jenkins's singing was cut and remixed from the ending score of DW Confidential for continuity.

Is this song on iTunes by any chance? xD Or does anyone maybe know how is it called?

@FDFRone search for "dWhoFan9 Abigails song" in youtube, its the first video.

Thanks for watching btw.

Very nice editing, brings the best of the show together with the wonderful song.

@BoyyM and @BassettReviewer - thanks very much. It was a great Christmas episode with many memorable scenes. I did take the time to re-watch Tennant's past Christmas specials (thanks to BBC iplayer). In comparison script-wise, unfeared of the danger of clichés, Moffat put out a Christmassy atmosphere into the heart of audience. And to top it all - Katherine Jenkin's debut TV acting and singing was stunning which wrapped up the show. It surely was a Christmas gift to many DW fans.

Wonderful editing. This truly was a beautiful Christmas special that really touched me. Still nearly brings a tear or two to my eyes.

@Grindrel Hi, thanks for your compliment. Happy 2011 by the way. :)

Fellas. If you want to make your woman happy, just look at her the way that Michael Gambon looks at Katherine in this clip.

Beautiful. :)

[Mozzyeon]

[blackyoshi1230]

Best Christmas ever!

"Look at you. You're so old now," is a reference to River's quote "Look at you. You're so young." She was even touching his face the same way. Also, Young!Kazran and Abigail's first kiss looked like the Doctor and River's. There are probably more references here, lol

[Fandomfilms]

the album with this song comes out on the 22nd of Nov 2011
