Doctor Who: The Return of Doctor Mysterio (2016)
Another fun if slight Christmas special which continues on from the previous year's The Husbands of River Song.
Heavily influenced by all things Superman there's a lot of laughs here especially from Peter Capaldi as the Doctor and you definitely get that warm fuzzy feeling whilst watching it but it lacks any real dramatic narrative with the fun coming from aping classic superheroes rather than the alien invasion from the Shoal of the Winter Harmony. Creepy surgeons and brains in glass jars add a touch of horror to proceedings.
Enjoyable fluff!
