Doctor Who is as big a Christmas tradition for some as a turkey dinner. The Who Christmas special was one of TV's most anticipated episodes every single year, even if the writers did tend to take them a bit less seriously than usual.

Take this moment from the 2007 yuletide broadcast. After the starship Titanic is hit by an asteroid field and set on a collision course for Earth, the surviving passengers begin to lose hope as their efforts to escape fail spectacularly.

There's only one solution - an action hero montage featuring the Doctor as John McClane!

After doing his best Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions walk through some flames, the Doctor summons two of the angel-like Heavenly Hosts. They take him by the arms and fly him straight upwards, crashing through the floor of the ship's control room.

It's an unbelievably over-the-top sequence, looking like it came out of some sort of parody.

But at the same time, it somehow manages to be incredibly badass, and it did give us the "Allons-y, Alonso!" moment, so we can't get too mad about it!
