I really enjoyed watching the Xmas special but have seen that it has been slated in the press and many thought it was too long. I suppose many were disappointed because it wasn't actually a Xmassy setting but I enjoyed the jaunt to Scotland and it has set up plenty of future story-lines which are obviously going to be followed up in the next series.

Had no inkling of Matthew's apparent demise so that was a bit of a shock ending but since he has once risen from being a paralytic maybe this time he'll be raised from the dead -that's if the actor gets a big enough incentive to stay on in the part.
