The Goblin Song from the Christmas episode which buy as a 'single'.

I may have to boycott the Christmas episode as I  believe there is a goblin king in it but not played by David Bowie.

I can live with goblins, but I hope Disney isn't going to have any influence, now that they're involved.

I'm hoping that a goblin is just for Christmas.

Midnight is certainly one of the best of nu who. As you say Sharpe is excellent.

Interesting trivia facts:

David Troughton who is a guest actor on the show is Patrick Troughton's son.

Alice Troughton who directed it is no relation.

David Troughton also played the Duke of Wellington in several episodes of Sharpe, although "Lesley Sharp" is not spelled the same. Sean Bean, who was also in Sharpe, was in Essex Boys with Alex Kingston who was in Doctor Who.

If the Duke of Wellington married the dowager Marchioness of Bute, would their kids be called Wellington-Bute?

Documentary on Russell T Davies and Doctor Who. I found it fascinating.

A reason to argue for Dr Who to be shown every Christmas:

https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2023/doctor-who-festive-specials-linked-to-lower-death-rates?

And don't talk about correlation/causation - it's Christmas - a magical time. (OK I've hit the advocaat early and hard)

Well, that was good. Mrs Flood (Anita Dobson) was interesting - I had a feeling from early on that there was more to her than met the eye, and her words at the end - "Never seen a TARDIS before?" - confirmed it. I wonder if she turns out to be a former companion, maybe one originally played by an actress now dead (perhaps Barbara, one of the first two companions).

Orrrr...
Maybe she's Ruby herself, about 60 years older. You can do that sort of thing with a TARDIS.

Father's Day would make that problematic I'd suggest.
