Audio Happy Christmas! Originally releases as a subscriber special in December 2015, this is another out of season listen for me in which the Doctor has a festive faceoff against a race of Welsh bats and attempts to talk them into not destroying humans by demolishing their fertility rates. Just the sort of weird Who I'm a huge fan of then. Although much of the duration consists of the Time Lord engaging chiropteran in Socratic debate, there's something immensely appealing about a sentient bat throwing out place names in Southern Wales like an overworked Torchwood script editor. Perhaps the most effective conversation is between Lucie and the human helper of the bats, in which we're given a glimpse of the trauma she experienced in her first few days in the TARDIS, meeting the Daleks on her first trip.
Placement: After Late Night Shopping.
