Thank you muchly to the fellow Wibbloger who sent me a copy of this wondrous Christmas Special. I would mention names, but as they e-mailed me I assume they want to remain incognito, and un-praised by the masses at large. :) If you want to reveal yourself, please do so in the comments.

What a fun episode. And quite well done I thought. I particularly enjoyed Clive Swift's [who will always be Richard Bucket -- "It's Bouquet!" -- to me!] Mr Cooper and the various beliefs he had about earth and Christmas: the UK ruled by Good King Wenceslas, worshipping Santa and his wife Mary, the invasion and eating of the inhabitants of Turkeyland... Such fun: reminded me of the episode The End of the World where a Wurlitzer jukebox is said to be an IPod. Kylie was good too I thought: she is not the best actress in the world, but I thought she was an able assistant, and had some good lines -- and a great end to her character. It was strange seeing Geoffrey Palmer as a baddie: I'm used to him in gentle roles: but he played it well.

Thanks again, fellow Wiblogger.
