Perfect Present

Perfect Present is about as outstanding of a Christmas story as I have seen for Doctor Who. It's short and simple in the best way possible, with the Doctor and Romana exchanging gifts. That's it, that's all they do in the TARDIS together. They give each other Time Lord gifts which are creative and full of interesting details - so alien and different from what a normal gift between humans looks like. Then they hug, and my heart warms. It's so lovely. As powerful as Never Seen Cairo, but without that story's sense of tragedy, Perfect Present is nothing but sincere and life-affirming. I am so impressed with Ian Potter's work here, even if there is only so much "story" to Perfect Present.
