According to The Sun, The Christmas Special, set in World War Two will feature QI and Black Books comedian Bill Bailey, Pointless host and voice of Sarah Jane Adventures Mr. Smith Alexander Armstrong, Fast Show Comedienne Arabella Weir and as suspected, Outnumbered star Claire Skinner as widower Madge Arwell.
The World War Two setting would seem to fit in with rumours that we’ve heard that the special will be based on C. S. Lewis’ seminal Christian fantasy novel, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. And let’s be honest, as speculation goes: Bill Bailey would make a fantastic Mr. Tumnus and Alexander Armstrong has a great voice for Aslan. That being said, and given Aslan’s role in the story, surely the almost god-like Doctor would be well suited to it.
The Daily Star confirms that the special will be based on The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, telling us:
I guess that puts an end to my hope that the Christmas Special would be called How the Daleks Stole Christmas.

The Daily Star confirms that the special will be based on The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, telling us:
The special sees the Time Lord (Matt Smith, 28) crash land in war-torn England. Posing as the caretaker of a creepy old house in Dorset he embarks on a magical mystery adventure with Madge Arwell and her two children, Lily and Cyril.SFX reports that the director for the Special will be Farren Blackburn. Farren’s previous work includes Survivors and the forthcoming BBC Three supernatural drama, The Fades.
The three have been evacuated from London as the capital comes under attack during World War Two.
And there’s plenty of surprises as the Doctor leads them into a new world.
I guess that puts an end to my hope that the Christmas Special would be called How the Daleks Stole Christmas.
