Doctor Who: The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe starring Matt Smith as the Doctor,
and guest starring Claire Skinner as Madge Arwell, with cameos from Karen Gillan as
Amy Pond, and Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams.
The Doctor
repays a debt to a widow of WWII by presenting her and her children with a
fabulous Christmas house and a gift that transports them to
a wintery planet that has natural
Christmas
trees... and an unexpected threat of extinction, unless the trees' own plan can
save them all.
- Available either as a
standard-definition DVD or a high-definition (1080i) Blu-Ray.
- The 60-minute episode as shown on
the BBC.
- DTS HD Surround sound
on the feature and the prequel. Stereo on the "Best of" specials.
- Trailers for Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock (a video
game coming in 2012) and for the
Complete Sixth Series Box Set.
- Prequel. A
that featured on the BBC websites in the weeks
prior to broadcast.
- BBC America's
"Best Of" Specials.
These were 43 minutes each and featured American
TV, music, and comedy figures discussing highlights
from the entire series. There are
three here: "The Best of the Doctor,"
"The Best of the Companions," and "The Best
of the Monsters." (These seem to be taking the place of the
usual Doctor Who
Confidential special that would go on a release like this, but that
series has been cancelled
now and so there was no special to include this
time.)
- Inside the cover is a set of 6 Doctor Who: Worlds in Time stickers.
If one counts this series as a continuation of the original series, then this is story 228 and
episode number 795.
