The BBC have treated us all to an early Christmas present with this – a short, Moffat penned ‘prequel’ to the Time Lord’s upcoming adventure THE DOCTOR, THE WIDOW AND THE WARDROBE. And as far as teasers go it’s one of the best we’ve seen! Enjoy…

What happens next?! Well, this official synopsis has a few answers (but not too many, don’t worry)… 

‘Christmas Eve, 1938. 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…’

THE DOCTOR, THE WIDOW AND THE WARDROBE airs December 25th.
