‘Doctor Who’ Goes to Narnia, Basically

The next “Doctor Who” adventure is a Christmas special called “The Doctor, The Widow, and The Wardrobe,” and I’ve got a couple clips below for people who liked the Narnia stories but always felt they needed more science fiction aspects.

In the first clip, Matt Smith appears in character as the Doctor, and takes his clothes off for a children’s charity (“Brilliant!” — Jerry Sandusky). He then introduces the trailer for the Christmas special. The second clip is just the trailer minus the Doctor stripping, on the off chance that you don’t want to see two minutes of a tweedy Brit prancing around just to get to the main event. I’m not quite sure what makes Doctor Who so popular with his legions of devoted fans, but I’ll give him this: I wouldn’t bet against him in a tickle fight.
