15 tweets that perfectly sum up the reaction to Doctor Who’s Christmas special sneak peek
In a word? EXCITED!
Published:
This year’s Doctor Who Christmas special is a big one. Not only is it a festive delight with appearances from Mark Gatiss and David Bradley playing the First Doctor, but it’s Peter Capaldi’s last trip in the Tardis before he hands over to Jodie Whittaker.
Excitement is at fever pitch – but details of exactly what to expect from the episode have been kept closely under wraps. That is, until now…
- Here’s what Doctor Who fans think the 13th Doctor’s first words should be

Yup, what you see is a first look at Capaldi and Bradley’s unlikely reunion (with, er, themselves). And fans were beside themselves with excitement.
I JUST FAN HAD A MELTDOWN WATCHING THE FIRST DOCTOR RETURN. WOW #DoctorWho

There was a lot of love for the exchanges between the First and Twelfth Doctors.
"Do I become you?" This bit. Twelve has been around the universe for a long time while his 1st incarnation is just getting started on that same journey. Both were so endearing here; it made me smile and tear up. ????#DoctorWho #PeterCapaldi @bradders_david @BBCCiN #TwiceUponATime pic.twitter.com/hhVlaT62Y4

"Always remember where you parked. It's gonna come up a lot." ???? Based on this clip, the Christmas Special may very well be glorious. #DoctorWho https://t.co/1r4lqMJGZB

While the World War I reference left some feeling rather emotional.
Wonderful and the World War 1 bit is heartbreaking #DoctorWho

"World War One?"
"Judging by the uniform, yes."
"Yes, but what do you mean… One?"Beautifully painful moment, #DoctorWho

There was the odd tweeter who wasn’t so sure…
I don't know if David Bradley as the First Doctor is ever going to properly win me over, if I'm honest – he's incredible until he starts speaking. To me, he lacks the *sound* of Hartnell. He's got the looks down to a tee, though. #DoctorWho

My brain is still juggling that weird dissonance of watching Bradley-as-Hartnell-as-Who, but it works well enough. #DoctorWho

Mainly because the appearance of Bradley elicited traumatic flashbacks…
Every time I see David Bradley as the Doctor, I suddenly have traumatic flashbacks of Game of Thrones #DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/ZHTnbLu2m2

Christmas can only mean one thing. Pass the tissues…
“I *AM* younger!!” Oh, Peter Capaldi, I’m going to miss you so. #DoctorWho #PeterCapaldi #CIN2017 https://t.co/xWK4cyoKC9
