Little is known about any of the specials as of mid-2008. However, the Christmas 2008 special was teased at the end of Series 4. The [[Cybus Cybermen]] are therefore known to be returning. Also, actors [[Dirvla Kirwan]] and [[David Morrissey]] are involved, as is a probable setting of Victorian England.<ref name=Gardner/> | Little is known about any of the specials as of mid-2008.
