‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special Gets A Title, First Teaser

Briefly: Doctor Who‘s upcoming Christmas special (and Matt Smith’s final appearance as the doctor) just got its official title. The episode is called The Time of the Doctor, and here’s its official synopsis:

Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe’s deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars. And amongst them – the Doctor. Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.

BBC has also revealed the key art and first teaser for the special, which you can also see below. Again, I’ve never actually seen an episode of the show, so I don’t understand exactly what I’m looking at, but in any case it appears that fans have a great Christmas ahead of them.
