About this programme
6/14. Matt Smith returns as the Time Lord, who is in mourning after losing Amy and Rory to the Weeping Angels and determined to avoid getting mixed up in the universe's problems. But a call for help whisks him back to Christmas Eve 1892, where a trio of old friends and a plucky young governess called Clara need him to take on a chilly menace that comes with the snowfall. Will he be persuaded to abandon his new life as a recluse and defend his beloved Earth once more? Jenna-Louise Coleman joins the Doctor as his new companion - although whether Clara is the same character she played in Asylum of the Daleks remains to be seen - with guest stars Richard E Grant (Withnail & I) and Tom Ward (Silent Witness).
