<i>Doctor Who</i> Channels Narnia <br />in Trailer for Christmas Special  

BBC and BBC America have released the trailer for the Doctor Who 2011 Christmas special “The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe.” Hey, if Steven Moffat & Co. could take on A Christmas Carol last year, then why not give The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a go?

The series returns once more to World War II as young widow Madge Arwell (Claire Skinner) and her children Lily and Cyril are evacuated from Londo to a dusty old house in Dorset, where they’re “greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world.”

Starring Matt Smith, the Christmas special premieres Dec. 25 on BBC and BBC America.
