The Christmas Inversion was the third short story in Twelve Doctors of Christmas, featuring the Third Doctor.
Summary
to be added
Characters
References
- The Third Doctor is unfamiliar with the Slitheen.
Notes
- This story essentially takes place at the same time as The Christmas Invasion, with the Third Doctor arriving in Jackie's flat after the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS has been taken up to the Sycorax ship and leaving after his future self has been returned to London.
- It's explained that the Tenth Doctor was able to complete his regeneration and stabilise his new incarnation by siphoning regenerative energy off of the Third Doctor, the latter referring to it as "energy osmosis".
- The Doctor claims to have "never known a Rose". According to PROSE: Roses, his granddaughter was originally named Arkytior, "rose" in High Gallifreyan.

- Jackie believes that the Doctor has regenerated again, and, when meeting Jo and Yates, she thinks that Rose and Mickey have also changed their appearance. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
