Doctor
Who Christmas Special: The Snowmen will premiere on
the BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv) this evening (March 16) at 19h35.
Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and
introducing Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara, his new companion, the 2012 Christmas
Special is called The Snowmen and
follows their adventures as they battle the villainous Doctor Simeon (Richard E
Grant) and his army of sinister snowmen.
It promises to be a movie-scale episode and
aside from Clara’s debut and the return of Strax, Vastra and Jenny, The Snowmen introduces a new look for
the Doctor and a new monster that will have families shivering behind their
sofas.
Matt Smith, who plays the Doctor,
commented: “For this year’s Christmas Special we have the wonderfully villainous
Richard E Grant as Doctor Simeon. As well as lizards, Victorian assassins and
deranged warriors from the future all return to convince the Doctor that he
should board the TARDIS again and save the world. Add to that Jenna-Louise
Coleman and so begins the Christmas Special, 2012. I hope everyone enjoys it!”
