Story notes

  • A Christmas Carol is loosely based on the Charles Dickens novel of the same name, with Kazran Sardick being Ebenezer Scrooge, the Doctor being the Ghost Of Christmas Past and Amy being the Ghost of Christmas Present
  • The interior design and look of the crashing space liner is very similar to the style of the Starfleet ships from the most recent Star Trek film, with a similar layout (though more compact) and touchscreen controls. There is also moderate use of lens flares during the scenes on the ship, which also was seen during the interior shots of the various ships in Star Trek as well.
  • This was the first story to feature Arthur Darvill's name in the opening titles.
  • This is the first christmas special since The Christmas Invasion to feature the Doctor's regular companions.

Myths

  • Fans believed that Rory would be the Ghost of Christmas Future. This was false, as the Doctor served as Ghost of Christmas Future (but to a younger Kazran).
