The Christmas Invasion

On the first day of Christmas
my true Beeb gave to me
a Doctor in his Pee Jays.

On the second day of Christmas
Auntie explained to me
two beating hearts,
Of a Doctor with a new face.

On the third day of Christmas
My dear Beeb scared me with
Three evil Santas
Controlling death,
And a Micky with a fierce tree!

On the fourth day of Christmas
My Dav-ies gave to me
Four leading males
All very good,
Two helping birds,
One a-lien and one slept through.

On the fifth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
five d..e..c—ades,
Forty long years
Since Hartnell
To cam'ra said
'Happy Christmas,' to you and me.


On the sixth day of Christmas
dear Doc said evily
six words, a-laying
Fear and doubt
For falling Prime
Ministers
To take a drop
Into mediocrity!

On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love wrote for me
seven hams an acting,
Six foot Sycorax,
Fine wri-ting,
Right royal jibes,
Three leading hens,
Two space-ships,
And an alien up a gum tree.

On the eighth day of Christmas
My Russell made me think,
Eight thoughts a – chilling;
Billions a - walking,
Families di-vided-
Will they jump?
Earth's Torchwood fear!
Whose watch-ing?
Two cracking whips
And a Doctor with a new hand.

On the ninth day of Christmas
My Davies gave to me
Neat lines a-dancing
With grace and purpose,
Poking fun at Royals-
'Oh-they're on Buck roof.
Fine Bush wit!
This England strong
Can have strength
To alone act
To save our world from misery.

On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Ten lordly effects;
Fine fir Tree dancing,
Hard Santas fighting,
Sycorax so jungly,
Torchwood a beaming,
Gold new breath,
Fine tardis bouncing,
Good Unit set,
Earth's opening shot
And an ashfall on an estate.

On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A confused Piper piping
Ten-tav'ly holding
The plot line steering
Through invasion and
Strong explanation
Of Doctor's new form.
Face so new!
With Lion King quotes,
Smell of change
And power shown
To those against his authority.

On the twelfth day of Christmas
We give to Russell T
Twelve drummers sounding
Applause piping from us,
Tenant a –leaping -
His role for keeping,
Our minds a-waiting
Stories to delight,
Monsters a-fright'nin',
Few more years!
For this Time Lord
To bring us
Through stories new….
A fine Tenant at Num-ber Ten!
