The Hopes and Fears of All the Years - Telegraph

Paul Cornell's Christmas Doctor Who story has been posted on line. It's a nice little story -- very much the new series Doctor Who in a lot of ways.

It is interesting - there have been some complaints about Doctor Who's use of religious imagery, especially as we have the third Christmas Doctor Who special in a row. But that doesn't have to be a religious challenge -- certainly the Jesus of the bible regularly told stories to illustrate moral and religious lessons. So I don't really see that -- by itself -- to be an objection.

I could go on more, but it's really not the season for it....
