Doctor Who Christmas Special Prequel Arrives Early As If It Had Its Own TARDIS (VIDEO)

This prequel has everything: Creepy falling snow without clouds, alien investigators and inter-species sapphic romances. What it doesn't have is the Doctor, but he'll be on his way shortly on Christmas Day for 'The Snowmen', this year's hotly anticipated Doctor Who Christmas Special. 

The Steven Moffat-penned prequel minisode gives just a quick glimpse into the Victorian-themed episode which involves evil, sentient snow and a Silurian private investigator who apparently manages to blend in among the humans. Plus it introduces us to Jenna-Louise Coleman as the Doctor's lastest companion.
