Watch an exclusive interview with star Matt Smith about the 2011 Christmas Special, DOCTOR WHO: THE DOCTOR, THE WIDOW AND THE WARDROBE. *** Premiering this Christmas, Sunday Dec 25 at 9/8c only on BBC America. ***
See why Matt Smith says the 2011 Special is set in “a very magical snowy world” and feels “very Tim Burton-esque in many ways, which is quite exciting.”
In DOCTOR WHO: THE DOCTOR, THE WIDOW AND THE WARDROBE, it’s Christmas Eve, 1938, when Madge Arwell comes to the aid of an injured Spaceman Angel as she cycles home. He promises to repay her kindness — all she has to do is make a wish.
Three years later, a devastated Madge escapes war-torn London with her two children for a dilapidated house in Dorset. She is crippled with grief at the news her husband has been lost over the channel, but determined to give Lily and Cyril the best Christmas ever. The Arwells are surprised to be greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world. Here, Madge will learn how to be braver than she ever thought possible. And that wishes can come true…
Starring: Matt Smith and Claire Skinner. Executive Producers: Steven Moffat, Piers Wenger and Caroline Skinner
