Doctor Who:
The Unquiet Dead
By Mark Gatiss
“You're from London. I've seen London in drawings, but never like that. All those people rushing about half naked, for shame. And the noise, and the metal boxes racing past, and the birds in the sky, no, they're metal as well. Metal birds with people in them. People are flying. And you, you've flown so far. Further than anyone. The things you've seen. The darkness, the big bad wolf. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, miss.”
The Unquiet Dead was a Christmas themed Doctor Who adventure that has all the charm of the recent Christmas stories. Even though it wasn’t aired on Christmas Day it sure would have been at home if it was. The story takes place on Christmas Day in Cardiff to the dismay of The Doctor and Rose as they were hoping for Naples instead.
Things get quite better as The Doctor and Rose hear a scream in a theater that just happens to be hosting a performance of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens himself. He is doing a one man show telling of his classic Christmas Story and that is where the strangeness happens as the dead seem to have risen and one seems to be in attendance at the performance.

The Gelph is the culprit
and they are a gaseous creature that uses the bodies of the dead to walk around. But their intentions are not what they seem
and with the aid of a maid with a peculiar mental power named Gwyneth it’s up
to Rose, The Doctor and Charles Dickens to save the Earth from the Gelph.
