These last few months have seen a dearth of Doctor Who related news, so it's just the right time for more information to be revealed.
The Christmas special is titled The Return of Doctor Mysterio which guest stars Justin Chatwin as a superhero. The actual costume that Justin wears looks pretty good, with only the mask looking a little plastic and naff. It is not clear yet what the 'G' on his logo stands for. The name 'Dr Mysterio' not only sounds like a weid super villain name but it is a nice callback to the name the show was billed as during early Spanish broadcasts of the show. It will be interesting to see whether the Doctor wants to help the hero, compete with him, or whether the superhero is really a villain. Doctor Who has done many genres over the years including horror and Wild Westerns so it's about time there was a superhero episode in a time when Marvel dominates the Box office.
Some new trailers have been released regarding Class and its becoming more intriguing now the details of the story are being made clearer.. The show appears to show students protecting the school from rifts in time. The second trailer acknowledges the debt owed to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other shows of its ilk. Other images suggest that this will be a bloodier, darker show and that should be fun. It's a shame American viewers won't get to see the show until next year.
