Doctor Who: The Snowmen prequel – Vastra Investigates
The BBC have released a trailer prequel to The Snowmen, the Doctor Who Christmas special, and it’s worth a watch. Have you gotten used to these micro-teasers from the Beeb? A few seconds of clips?

New Doctor Who Christmas special trailer: The Snowmen
The BBC have released a new trailer for The Snowmen, the Doctor Who Christmas Special, that re-introduces Jenna-Louise Coleman as “Clara”.

Godzilla Christmas Tree
