'Doctor Who' Christmas special countdown continues with promos aplenty

No matter how excited you might be about the 2010 "Doctor Who" Christmas special, "A Christmas Carol," you're clearly not as excited as the Brits. The annual episode more ore less eclipses the arrival of little baby Jesus in their eyes.

At least all of the hype has produced a few sneak peeks of the Dec. 25 episode, airing Christmas Day in the United States for the first time ever.

Doctor Who TV has the latest clips from the episode, and though they don't delve too much into the Dickensian storyline, there are spaceships, laser eyes and the newly married double companions, Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill).

And, for good measure, there's also this semi-charming promo featuring a gift-toting Dalek home for the Holidays. Let us hope his involvement ends here.
