    In this episode we go way back to the beginning, No, we’re not talking An Unearthly Child, The First Doctor, or even the beginning of Doctor Who itself.

    We go back to our beginnings and revisit the very first Doctor Who material that we ever reviewed, Ten years ago, and way back in Episode 1 we gave you our thoughts on A Christmas Carol featuring the Eleventh Doctor.

    And now we tell you what we think of the story all these years later.
