Doctor Who: Every Festive Special Ranked From Worst To Best

9. Voyage Of The Damned

Some people really hate that Kylie Minogue is in a Doctor Who episode.

She isn't the world's greatest actor, and her turn as space stewardess Astrid Peth didn't set the world on fire, but come on! A mini disaster movie set on an intergalactic version of the Titanic? What's not to love?

This 2007 Christmas special does a great job of setting up a bunch of different characters and then slowly killing them off over the course of 72 minutes.

Minogue might drag it down a bit and the Heavenly Host killer robots might be a bit goofy, but on the whole, it's a lot of fun.

Also, two things - this is the first time we meet Wilf, and it's got "Allons-y, Alonso" in it. 'Nuff said.
