Two bigger-on-the-inside worlds collide this Christmas in "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe" — and the PARTICULAR collision between C.S. Lewis's worldview and Doctor Who's typical one has me wondering what the heck showrunner Steven Moffat is up to…
"jolly old weapons dealer" <--hee hee. That was nicely put. I'm very skeptical of this particular inspiration, and I appreciate hearing you articulate some good concerns.
As there's been a lot of title misdirection recently and the Doctor says, in the trailer, that the TARDIS is the wardrobe, the total connection with the CS Lewis book could be that there's a wood involved and it snows.
As expected, not much connection to CS Lewis's book.
