30 Greatest Doctor Who Episodes Of The Revived Series

27. The Christmas Invasion

Certainly one of the most significant episodes of the revived series, serving as both the first Christmas special and the first episode featuring David Tennant's Doctor, The Christmas Invasion is also one of its most enjoyable to boot. The classic alien invasion plot is given extra peril by the fact that the Doctor is not around to stop it . He's still recovering from his regeneration so viewers care for Rose as she has to act on her own in lieu of the man she's come to rely on. Fans subsequently cheer when the Tenth Doctor emerges twenty minutes from the end to sort out the mess with a satsuma and a swordfight. He's that sort of a man!
