Doctor Who: 20 Things You Didn’t Know About A Christmas Carol
14. Abigail’s Song Was VERY Last Minute
A Christmas Carol featured a marvellous performance from Katherine Jenkins, a classical singer hailing from Wales.
This show finally ran out of places in Wales to use, so it started stealing its people instead!
Jenkins was a big get for Doctor Who, so you'd have thought the idea of getting her to sing a song would've been organised way in advance.
Well, think again.
While it was always in Moffat's script that Abigail would sing a new Christmas tune, composer Murray Gold wasn't informed until the very last minute. He had around three weeks to come up with the song before it was required for filming – which wasn't a lot of time for something like this – but he managed it.
Still no sign of the Series 10 soundtrack though. Wish he'd hurry up with that.
