An anthology of four Christmas tales, this release continues the recent Doctor Who tradition of releasing a Christmas themed episode for the Christmas season. Blood on Santa's Claw. The Doctor and Peri land on the planet Naxios, where they discover the body of Father Christmas. Who killed him? The strange individuals dressed in Shakespearian costume or the talking animals wearing waistcoats digging in the tunnels? The Baby Awakes. The Doctor and Peri visit the Ishtar institute, where the term 'designer babies' takes on a new and sinister meaning. Will our heroes survive Christmas day? I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day. A Christmas party that's been going on for three years. Strange silver robots who guard the Christmas decorations with lethal force. What is the secret behind the festivities on Tate Galactic? Brightly Shone the Moon That Night. The TARDIS crew encounters a shameful secret of the Time Lords. History has been rewritten, and this time it's all the Doctor's fault.
