It?s completely unclear as to if they got rid of the Christmas special because he quit or if he quit because they got rid of the Christmas
special. But in any event, it?s definite that he lied about every aspect of the Christmas special.

Are you engraving the score so it may be performed? Or is this a
soundtrack album?
I love that this guy is more productive in his 90s than most people are

He probably dug himself such a huge pit with the Billie Piper
regeneration nonsense that he couldn't actually come up with any way to >explain it, so just jumped ship and leave the mess for someone else to

the show" and "[It's a] bit of a nightmare for any producer".
