| The following article is written from an Out of Universe perspective. |
The One Doctor was the 2008 Christmas Special of Doctor Who. It was written by Gareth Roberts & Clayton Hickman, directed by Gary Russell and featured Paterson Joseph as the Twelfth Doctor and Sophie Okonedo as Lizzie Clarke, with Special Guest Stars, Richard Briers as Banto Zame and Clare Buckfield as Sally-Anne Stubbins.
It was the first episode of Doctor Who to premiere on Christmas Day since "The Feast of Steven", the seventh part of 1966 twelve-part serial The Daleks' Master Plan. However, unlike that episode, The Christmas Invasion was specially commissioned by BBC One to be transmitted outside the programme's normal broadcasting season. It was thus the first in the modern tradition of the "Christmas special".
Synopsis
When the evil Skelloids launch an attack upon the seventeen worlds of the Generios system, its peace-loving inhabitants face total destruction.
So it's fortunate that the famous traveller in time and space known only as the Doctor is in the area, and doubly lucky that, with the help of his pretty young assistant, Sally-Anne, he manages to defeat the deadly creatures and save the day.
One thing is certain: for the Doctor and Sally-Anne, there¹s deadly danger ahead…
