Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Complete with a sleigh-ride with merry bells ringing and a flying shark with teeth that bite, this Doctor Who hour provides just what anyone, child or adult, fan or non-fan of the Who cult, wants. May 7, 2019 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club A Christmas Carol is all about and dodges clichéd ways to adapt it, unless there's another version out there with time travel, shifting memories, and flying fish I don't know about. Rated: A- May 7, 2019 Full Review Simon Brew Den of Geek A Christmas Carol is, ultimately, a fitting end to one of Doctor Who's very strongest years. May 7, 2019 Full Review Keith Demko Collider Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol is a seriously fun ride, and will be enjoyed just about equally by longtime fans and anyone who's somehow never experienced the Doctor Who phenomenon. May 7, 2019 Full Review Rick Marshall MTV [Steven] Moffat's adventure is a perfectly paced romp that lives up to the hype both as a great Doctor Who tale and yes, the most Christmas-sy Christmas Special we've ever seen. May 7, 2019 Full Review Dave Golder SFX Magazine [Steven Moffat ] gives us a festive fairy tale. Rated: 4.5/5 May 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
