Doctor Who Christmas Special
My second favourite Christmas special, the first still being the best for me as it was the best introduction of a new Doctor ever.
I liked the introduction of the Cybershades - they're an improvement over the old Cybermats and the costuming was very reminiscent of the old series :)
The Cyberking - was way over the top, but sufficiently steampunky that I'll let them get away with it. I particularly liked the remark on sexism by the lead villain, Mercy Hartigan - and how it is completely ignored by the Cybermen - who are all sexless and don't care, the issue being totally irrelevant.
Dervla Kirwan was really good as Mercy, I thought. She really sold the special, as well as Morrisey.
Didn't like the kid though - they could have used a prop.
