Join us for a brutally honest review of the Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024. We dive deep into the episode's plot, picking apart the quirky characters, the nonsensical code, and the jarring political commentary - all while trying to avoid those pesky plot holes. This episode was a bit of a let-down for us, but was it a complete Christmas disaster? We'll discuss the good (the Christmas tree!), the bad (the sentient briefcase!), and the ugly (the boredom). We'll also talk about the Superman trailer, the War Games remaster, and the future of Doctor Who itself. Are we just getting older and grumpier? Or is this a sign that the show is losing its way?
