The First Doctor #23

'The Gift' (2005) from Short Trips: The History of Christmas.


The first of very likely many First Doctor stories that somewhat depends on your knowledge of future events in order to get the full extent of the story itself. I haven't met the Brigadier in Classic Who so I don't really have any understanding of him or his partner in the context of the show, but here they had a nice brief time that I can understand the cuteness of, despite the smaller details being lost to me. A very simple story aside from that with not much else going on other than the fanservice of seeing this incarnation meeting Lethbridge-Stewart.
