Doctor “Ghost of Christmas Past”
It was confirmed back in July that the festive special would be a Doctor Who twist on Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.
Some had speculated that a former Doctor might come back as the Ghost of Christmas Past, but a trailer shown to a select audience at the Edinburgh TV Festival suggested otherwise, with Matt Smith’s Doctor saying in one scene, “I’m the Ghost of Christmas Past.”
At the event Steven Moffat said actor Michael Gambon will play the Scrooge type character, rumoured to be called Kazran. Other rumours suggest the special will be set on an alien planet that looks Victorian, with an alien shark as the monster.
Singer, Katherine Jenkins, also has a big guest part, although not much is known about her role yet.
Other guest stars confirmed are Laurence Belcher, Leo Bill, Pooky Quesnel, Micah Balfour and Bailey Pepper and Danny Horn.
