2012 Christmas Special BBCA Air Date

BBC America has confirmed that they will be airing the 2012 Doctor Who Christmas special on 25th December. It begins 9pm (ET).

As usual the time has yet to be confirmed in the UK, but it will most likely be around 7pm as with previous years.

The press release reveals next to nothing about the plot, but here it is anyway for the curious:

Following the epic mid-season finale, the Doctor gets in the holiday spirit in the all-new Christmas special written by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat (Sherlock). Accompanied by his newest companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, the Doctor’s latest adventure through space and time sees him once again crossing paths with the homo-reptilian Silurian Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh) and her cohort Jenny (Catrin Stewart).

Fortunately it’s only a few days now until the prequel and preview at this year’s Children in Need. Hopefully the title will be confirmed as well.
