Doctor Who Christmas Special.

[wolfie]

Who was the last companion to get killed whilst travelling with the doctor?

[raider5gt]

I think it was Adric,wolfie but not so clued up on old Dr Who episodes.

[Mikey]

Who was the last companion to get killed whilst travelling with the doctor?

Officially Adric,

Unofficial Ace or Grace

[bobws]

Are you refering to Grace dying in the Tv movie itself?
Ace was killed in the DWM Comic strip, real good story ....bad ending....I LOVE ACE!
Adric on the show in 81?, then go way back to 65/66 for Katarina and Sara Kingdom in the same story no less.

I kind of count Astra Pith as a companion. Even though she never set foot in the TARDIS.

[Bruce Banner]

The wood people were cool... a worthy eco-message contained within the episode.

Generally superior to all the previous Yuletide episodes in many respects... but that's not saying much in itself.

I finally watched it last night and really liked it. No complaints from me.

[ANTONY-S]

Strange there was no trailer for the forth coming season....

I finally sat down and watched it. I was underwhelmed. It was like chewing gum, you enjoy it when it's fresh but as soon as it loses the flavor you spit it out, and you'll never think of it again. I'm just glad I didn't waste my time on Christmas watching it with commercials.
Once again Moffat shows why writers need an editor and shouldn't produce their own work. He introduces a plot thread with the guy who was obviously wounded badly in th eback and the co-pilot - but doesn't resolve it. Bill Bailey was good

Matt Smith soldiered through but he deserves much better material to work with

On a happier note the Special Edition Disc for the Day of the Daleks DVD was actually brilliant first Sp ed I've liked

[danadoll]

I agree...The special was a bit too fantasy fluff and had a few plot holes here and there.

As for companion deaths...Didn't Rory die (via Silurian gun) and then he was wiped from existence by the crack in time (later somehow returning as an Auton)?

Is there really no new specials/episodes till this fall? Ugh.

Did anyone happen to record this in a fashion they could share? I was dragged out on the Holiday and missed it.

>Didn't Rory die

A lot, actually.

>As for the episode itself, my complaints are the same as usual ...
It's just too "fantasy" for me like most Matt Smith episodes.

As for your point itself, my retort is the same as usual ...
Show about a guy travelling time and space in a phone booth that's bigger on the inside than the outside.

*HEY!* No laughing smiley face doohickey!

The Christmas one's aren't usually just more fantasy, they're usually pretty silly.... but that's why I like them. It's neat to see a guy whom we've watched fight aliens, monsters, all sorts of beat-'em up kinda stuff do something off the wall. (And it was funny watching the Doctor getting scolded at the end.) Yeah; it was pretty light, but I liked it. (I liked last years' more though.)
