STAGE TUBE: Sneak Peek - Christmas Episode of BBC America's DOCTOR WHO Airing 12/25

The BBC has released a new trailer for this year's DOCTOR WHO Christmas special airing on BBC America on December 25 at 9/8c.  The episode, entitled 'The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe' takes place on 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...

Madge Arwell is played by Claire Skinner, Reg Arwell is played by Alexander Armstrong, Lily Arwell by Holly Earl and Cyril Arwell by Maurice Cole. 

ABOUT DOCTOR WHO

The truth about River Song is out and the time has come for the Doctor to face his greatest demons. Venturing across centuries and galaxies, the Doctor, Amy and Rory will encounter the greatest war criminal in all of history-and Hitler. Together, they'll discover there's no scarier place in the universe than a child's bedroom and a visit to an alien quarantine facility will reveal to Rory a very different side to his wife. In a hotel where walls move, corridors twist and rooms vanish, death lies waiting. But the Doctor's time has yet to come. He has one last stop to make on his final journey-an old friend needs his help and an old foe must be defeated. But time catches up with us all and the Doctor can delay no more.

By the shores of Lake Silencio, in Utah, all of time and space hang in the balance. And a NASA astronaut is waiting.

DOCTOR WHO is the continuing saga of a mysterious time traveler who picks up human companions and faces evil foes with little more than his wits and a sonic screwdriver while he journeys throughout time and space in the TARDIS-a unique craft disguised as a police call box. As the famed Whovian Craig Ferguson once said, it's about "the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism."
