It has been revealed that the BBC will be launching a new string of specially-recorded Doctor Who Christmas idents next month, in the run-up to the broadcast of the Tenth Doctor’s finale, The End of Time!

The news has been rumoured for a while now, but thanks to the British Board of Film Classification, we have confirmation that the 5-second idents will feature scenes such as the Doctor digging in the snow, and a reindeer sniffing the TARDIS!

The idents will be shown before various programmes during the festive period, similiar to the Wallace and Gromit blips that were used last Christmas.

“I watched the Wallace and Gromit idents last year, then walked into the office on January 2nd and said, ‘I want that!’” outgoing showrunner Russell T Davies told the latest issue of Radio Times. “Maybe it is a bit of a takeover this year, but of all the things to flood your screens, why not Doctor Who?”

The BBFC have also classified a new 30-second trailer for The End of Time.

Thanks to ChildofTime for the tip!
