DOCTOR Who actor Matt Smith has told how filming in the Forest means he has been looking forward to Christmas since September.

The Timelord actor says he was thrilled when the special effects team turned Beechenhurst into a scene straight from Narnia.

Millions of viewers will see the Forest sparkling for the Christmas Day special which promises to be the show's biggest ever tearjerker.

Doctor Who takes two children who do not know that their war hero father has been killed to a magical new land to give them the best Christmas ever.

As reported in The Forester, the Doctor Who team turned up in September to film the Christmas special which also stars Outnumbered star Claire Skinner as mum Madge Arwell.
