All We Want for Christmas is Doctor Who

This year, thanks to Netflix, we had the pleasure of enjoying several great British television series. We watched The Black Adder, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Sherlock, Doc Martin, Torchwood, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Jeeves and Wooster to name a few. However, Doctor Who has stolen our hearts and is by far our favorite. Our obsession started last Christmas when we watched a couple classic Doctor Who episodes from the 1960s and 70s. We then swiftly moved into the new Doctor Who series (that started in 2005), and spent a good portion of this year watching those. Apparently Doctor Who fans in Britain often spend Boxing Day enjoying Doctor Who episodes both old and new, so we plan to spend part of our Christmas holiday enjoying some time and space fun with "The Doctor".

Our love of British tv led us to the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Craig had a very interesting hour long interview with Stephen Fry this year, and it peaked our interest to watch his show more often. He is the funniest guy on late night television and whenever we can keep our eyes open past 12:30am we like to catch his show. So now back to Doctor Who, Craig recently provided his audience with a great musical explanation of the Doctor Who series when he had Matt Smith (who plays the 11th "Doctor") as a guest on his show.



If that video clip wasn't holiday themed enough for your liking then you can go here and watch Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon exchange Christmas gifts. Cheerio!
