It's only a week to Christmas!! Here in the DWP Campervan, we are getting into the Christmas spirit - by watching films that remind us of this wonderful time of year. However, given its impossible for us to sustain conversation about films (or indeed ANY subject) without refencing Doctor Who, James, Brent and Phil draw parallels between the films they've selected with Doctor Who stories! Can you guess the Who connection before they do?! It won't be hard....!

We'll be back on Sunday with our review of the Finale to The War Between The Land and the Sea, and then again in just a few days time ON CHRISTMAS DAY - with our own very Christmas Special! If the BBC can't provide a Doctor Who Christmas celebration, then we will! Hooray!

Enjoy the madness! :-)
