In 'Joy to the World,' Doctor Who's 2024 Christmas Special, Steven Moffatt unearths a rich vein of terror in the ordinary, particularly the oft-ignored mysterious hotel room door.
Airing Doctor Who on Christmas Day transformed it into a cultural touchstone for the UK, akin to the Super Bowl in the US, where families gather to watch.
The Christmas specials straddle the line between broad appeal and keeping the faithful engaged, necessitating a looser narrative, allowing for family interaction while watching.
With a bigger budget and longer runtime, the festive specials are both a gift and a burden, requiring creativity to captivate a diverse audience.
