Isn't it kind of weird for it to have both Christmas specials?

Not really. The Complete Series 7 boxset had the 2011 special The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe and the 2012 special The Snowmen included in it.

Yeah, but that's because The Snowmen was in the middle of Series 7, wasn't it? I feel like The Husbands Of River Song should either get its own DVD or go to Series 10. Although, to be pedantic, it's actually Last Christmas that should be on the Series 8 DVD. Since the new series began, they can't seem to decide where to stick the specials.

I personally don't care which sets they get released with or how many Christmas specials there are on a set. As long as they get released is all that matters to me.

BTW...The Husbands of River Song is getting its own seperate DVD/Blu-Ray release before being included as part of the Complete Series 9 set comes out.

Doctor Who got a brief mention on last night's episode of "Inventions That Rocked the World", a documentary series focussing on different aspects of music making technology.

In episode 3, "Synthesised Sound", Doctor Who was mentioned as an example of an early pioneer of electronic music.

That is very cool!

That is very cool!

Specifically, we saw a publicity shot from "The Sensorites", a photo of a Dalek at some exhibition in the 60s (it was unclear which one), and some footage of Delia Derbyshire at work in the Radiophonic Workshop.

That's wonderful. Great to have the recognition. They absolutely earned it and deserve it.

To quote the First Doctor - "A very Merry Christmas to all of you at home."

Not sure how accurate the source is, and not sure how I feel about it if it's true.
