I've just been watching the 'making of' for it, and it was quite masturbatory how much everyone was congratulating themselves on what looks like one of the cheapest, tackiest things on television since they stopped repeating Rentaghost. The man who plays Mr Teatime needs a right good slap - or at least whoever told him to deliver his lines in that manner does.
Watching this will dovetail nicely with Torchwood - possibly even make it look a lot better as a consequence.
I could be wrong, of course - Hogfather could be the second coming in terms of tv fantasy shows. I suppose I'll find out at 8 o'clock tonight.
