Doctor Who - Children In Need special

[Bounty]

It was on just now. Not a self-contained story this time, it was the opening scene from the Christmas special.

Interesting points:

We find out why Ood Sigma was there. Someone or something has accelerated the Ood mind-collective thing into becoming a time-travelling civilization in just 100 years, and they want the Doctor there because... they have been having bad dreams?

Looks like they set up some leeway for the online series and novels - the Doctor's been travelling a lot since Waters of Mars.

If this is supposed to be a teaser, though, it falls pretty flat. It's just stock RTD 'oh noes prophecy' nonsense. But fair's fair, the ice city looked neat.

Well, that answers the question of what he did to upset Queen Elizabeth.

Here's the BBC iPlayer link for anyone who missed it. Skip to the start at 1:15:50.

Anyway weird little episodelet. I did like the locking Tardis with the key but that was the only part which really stood out.

Spoiler about the upcoming Christmas "Special", a IMDb casting rumour confirmed true:

*DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO*
A James Bond Actor *DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO*

Anyway I didn't mind this appetiser clip but it was too short and snappily paced to leave much of an impact.
