List of episodes (2005–present)

"Joy to the World" is an episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was broadcast on BBC One and released on Disney+ on 25 December 2024 as the fifteenth Christmas special since the show's revival in 2005.

In the episode, the fifteenth incarnation of The Doctor discovers a strange hotel at Christmastime that has harnessed the power of time travel and finds a mysterious briefcase. While investigating, he meets new companion Joy Almondo (guest star Nicola Coughlan) who helps him solve the mystery.

"Joy to the World" was written by Steven Moffat and directed by Alex Sanjiv Pillai. It was filmed in October and November 2023.

Plot

[edit]

The Doctor arrives at the Time Hotel, an establishment in the year 4202 that allows guests to visit various points in history, several of which the Doctor visits during the episode. The Doctor enlists the aid of Trev, a worker at the hotel, as he investigates a mysterious man holding a briefcase. As each new person is tricked into taking the briefcase, it takes control of them, and the previous carrier disintegrates. Trev's Silurian manager arrives in Joy Almondo's London hotel room in 2024 with the briefcase, and the Doctor following him.

The briefcase takes control of Joy, and the Doctor opens it, finding a strange device inside. The briefcase is about to disintegrate Joy, when a Doctor from the future arrives from the Time Hotel and gives them an override code. The future Doctor then returns to the Time Hotel with Joy, stranding the current Doctor in 2024. He takes a job working at Joy's hotel, befriending the manager Anita, and awaiting an opportunity to get back to the Time Hotel the following Christmas.

A year later, the Doctor re-enters the Time Hotel, and gives his past self the code (which he'd obtained by the bootstrap paradox), then departs with Joy. They open a door to the distant past, where the Doctor frees Joy from the briefcase by provoking her anger at being unable to be with her dying mother due to��COVID-19 lockdown. The briefcase reveals itself to be of Villengard origin, with plans to detonate a "star seed" to use as an energy source, using the hotel's time travel to allow it to grow in the past.

The briefcase is eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex, and the Doctor and Joy flee. Trev, who connected psychically to Villengard's system before he died, contacts the Doctor through his sonic screwdriver. Trev reveals the briefcase's location, and the Doctor finds it sealed in a shrine. The Doctor is able to open it, but Joy takes the briefcase outside, and lets the star seed enter her. Joy and the other people killed by the seed pilot it into space, where it detonates safely. At various points in time, the star gives hope and comfort to those who see it, including Joy's dying mother and Ruby Sunday. The Doctor sees that that the star was also the Star of Bethlehem.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat penned the episode.

Russell T Davies, the Doctor Who showrunner, initially began writing the 2024 Christmas special. Davies had sent a portion of the script to former showrunner Steven Moffat to get his opinion on it. At the time, Davies was in discussions with Moffat to have him write a script for the fifteenth series. When Davies realised he was too busy to complete the script, he shelved it and asked Moffat to write the Christmas episode instead.[1] Moffat considered writing a farce, but decided against it, believing that such an episode would be better suited mid-series.[2] Despite this, he said the episode still had a comedic tone with emotional elements.[3]

Here's the pitch that got me the job. You know in just about every hotel room you've been in there's a locked door? It's weird, but there always is. Okay. We're about to blow apart the truth of that. In the far future there is a place called the Time hotel, and the Time Hotel has realised something brilliant, which is following the discovery of time travel they have an opportunity to sell all the rooms they failed to sell the last time. So they have built extensions into more or less every hotel room in history, and you get access to it occasionally.

— Steven Moffat, "The Joy Bringer", SFX 3 December 2024[3]

Half the script had been completed before Davies informed Moffat that Ruby Sunday wouldn't be in the special.[1] The character of Anita originally only had around ten lines but her presence was increased after the production team became fond of her.[4] Moffat had finished writing the episode by 20 July 2023.[5] Working titles for the episode included "The Time Hotel" and "Christmas, Everywhere All at Once".[6] The story further explores the "Villengard Corporation", a recurring fictional weapons manufacturing company that has been mentioned in a number of Moffat's Doctor Who episodes. The Doctor last confronted Villengard in the fourteenth series episode "Boom" (2024).[7][8] It is the ninth Doctor Who Christmas special to be written by Moffat who once again assumed an executive producer role during production of the episode.[2][9]

Casting

[edit]

In November 2023, Nicola Coughlan was announced to be appearing in an undisclosed role of an upcoming Doctor Who episode.[10] It was later revealed that Coughlan would star in the 2024 Christmas episode as the Doctor's one-off companion,[11] Joy Almondo, a guest at a hotel who "gets caught up in [the Doctor's] adventures."[12] Initial reports indicated that Millie Gibson, who portrays the Doctor's current companion Ruby Sunday, would not appear in the special.[13] Gibson however, made a brief cameo appearance near the end of the episode.[14]. Joel Fry was cast to play Trev, an employee at the Time Hotel while Jonathan Aris portrayed the hotel's manager.[12] Steph de Whalley appeared as Anita, the manager of another hotel whom the Doctor spends a year with.[15]

Niamh Marie Smith played Sylvia Trench, a passenger on the Orient Express in 1962, whom Moffat confirmed as the same character as the love interest of James Bond in the films Dr. No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963).[16][17] Historical figures Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were depicted, at a 1953 Mount Everest base camp, by Phil Baxter and Samuel Sherpa-Moore, respectively.[18] Sherpa-Moore is Norgay's great-great nephew.[19] Peter Benedict and Julia Watson appeared as Basil and Hilda, guests at the Queen's Hotel in Manchester during World War II.[20] The guest cast also included Ruchi Rai, Joshua Leese, Ell Potter, and Liam Prince-Donnelly.[12]

Filming

[edit]

Set design for the episode was underway at Wolf Studios Wales by 11 October 2023. The Mesozoic Era room was built on a gimbal that allowed the set to tilt to give the effect that it was being eaten by a dinosaur. The art department was working on graphic design by 17 October. The graphics team took fifteen 11-hour days to create enough artwork to fill the Doctor's hotel room. Seven different briefcases were purchased by the props department for use in the episode. A team at Millennium FX designed the Silurian prosthetics.[5]

Principal photography began on 23 October, with recording extending into November.[5] "Joy to the World" was directed by Alex Sanjiv Pillai[21] in the first filming block of the fifteenth series.[22] For the Sandringham Hotel, the production team chose to purchase two floors of an actual hotel, but had to build the lobby on a soundstage. The top of the Orient Express set was built in front of a green screen and placed on rubber tyres to allow the special effects team to replicate the look of a moving train. Mika Orasmaa was the episodes director of photography.[4]

A clip and trailer for the episode was released on 15 November as part of the 2024 Children in Need broadcast.[35] The press screening took place in the week prior to broadcast,[36] which was hosted by Angellica Bell.[37] Promotional posters released by Disney captioned the poster with "Joy to the Worlds", mirroring the title "Joy to the World".[38]

Ratings

[edit]

In the UK, Doctor Who was the sixth most-watched programme on Christmas Day, receiving 4.11 million viewers overnight.[39]

Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 80% of 15 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.3/10.[23]

Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Michael Hogan referred to "Joy to the World" as "the best Christmas adventure for more than a decade." He further elaborated by saying that "there's something here for all generations to enjoy" and praising the guest cast, namely Nicola Coughlan, Steph de Walley, and Joel Fry.[31] Authoring a review for Radio Times, Louise Griffin also praised the guest cast but felt that Coughlan had been underused.[30]

IGN's Robert Anderson wrote that the special "masterfully blends the show's signature whimsy with heartfelt storytelling, delivering a cozy, deeply human tale about the transformative power of friendship" and that "Moffat's excellent script is central to the episode's success."[29] The writing was also applauded by Adi Tantimedh, who writing for Bleeding Cool, said "Moffat pins down the core of what makes Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor different from all his predecessors."[25]

Stephen Robinson with the A.V. Club criticised the Doctor's characterization, saying the "there are key moments in the story that directly contradict the Doctor's former growth" and that "he's a mix of the 'lonely god' from Russell T Davies' first run and Steven Moffat's 'madman in a box,' and the effect is discordant."[24] Emily Murray from GamesRadar+ also criticised a portion of the episode, writing that the "villains quite frankly feel like an afterthought and feel threadbare."[27]

[jerriemofos]

hey! i dont want to sound very out of the loop, and maybe this is just my opinion and experience, but isnt your hate for beth a little misconstrued?

as a mixed race person (south asian father and english mother), i didnt take any offense with beths comments regarding diversity within the england squad, there have historically been players of different ethnic backgrounds but at the time she made the comment they just werent the top choices for the squad, no? i may be wrong there but that is my memory of the time.

and regarding her gameplay, she is one of the most consistent players statistically in the arsenal squad, even coming back from an acl injury. i didnt want viv to leave as much as the next person - she reinstated my love for the sport back in 2018/2019 and has been a constant in my football experience ever since. but, i think, saying that you wish it were to be beth leaving over viv suggests that you dont necessarily want the best for the club, instead enjoying hating on an athlete for not being an expert in racial politics.

you can be sad for one player leaving without hating on another, no?

honestly if thats how you feel about beths comment about diversity then whatever idc to each their own. just one thing tho, compare her comment to niamh's and lotte's then you'll understand why beth's comment reeks of stupidity cos if her own teammates can say that then why cant she. here, i'll even link it for you if you're too lazy to search it yourself

secondly, you are also purposefully choosing to ignore the part where she also publicly supported a woman beater, why? thats very shitty of beth to do and shitty of you to just brush it off

idk why yall think beth is the best player that we can have honestly shes not good anymore. shes slow, weak and cant cross even if her life depended on it. we can absolutely do better than her especially in the position she plays.

Example of players arsenal can get in the RW thats better than beth mead: tabitha chawinga, sophia smith, kerolin, jule brand, sveindis, anyomi, mary fowler, gabi nunes, mariona caldentey, mara alber, jusu bah, julie dufour, delphine cascarino etc.

notice how all of the bar mariona are younger than beth? yeah cos we need young wingers in the squad rn or else we will not have any wingers for the future 🤷🏽‍♀️

im convinced yall dont watch the games at all for you to genuinely think beth massively improves our attack
