Doctor Who: Frosty Isn’t So Jolly

The Snowmen or “Time to Make You Afraid of Snow!”

Victorian England has recovered from the Cybermen only to have to deal with psychic snow. All while the Doctor is “retired.” Which we know how long that lasts, especially with a perky female assistant running about.

We start at a Dickensian orphanage, where a small boy builds a snowman. The adults watch him and talk about how he is a loner. He prefers the company of his snowmen and calls the other children stupid. The snowman echoes this sentiment. And our Dickensian orphan has a new best friend. Who ultimately ends up eating people sometime in the future, controlled by the Dickensian orphan grown up into Richard E. Grant, returning to Doctor Who!
