The Secret War Of 1941

This is the first episode of Season 14.
==Story==
A newly regenerated Doctor comes crashing down to Earth on Christmas Eve 1941 in London but with leaking Tardis energy following the regeneration, the Sontarans attempt to create a war inside war-torn WW2 Britain. The Doctor gets help from Sir Winston Churchill to overcome this old familiar threat and save Christmas.

Winston Churchill - Iain McNeice
Sontaran Commander Kavanagh - Dan Starkey
Captain Evans - 
Lance-Corporal Buckmaster - 
Doctor Reeves - 
Private Jon Waters - 
Clement Attlee - Richard Attlee
==Behind The Scenes==
I wanted to begin my reign with a Christmas special as it eases the transition from the previous Doctor into the new one with a threat I view as good enough to face for a first battle. For me, Doctor Who and having an episode broadcasted on Christmas Day is a tradition I would want to bring back as a result.
Plus, the assistance from Winston Churchill also helps the Doctor as a good one-off companion as well I find. And yes, I would throw in references to the Matt Smith/Victory Of The Daleks era as a result where I could. With no Tardis available due to the Doctor crash landing it, it would mean an entire episode without the help of his time machine and having to make the best of a situation in 1941 London.
We would eventually see the new Tardis interior by the end of the episode in a feat similar to that of The Eleventh Hour which would be a mixture of 12's Tardis and the classic 5th-6th-7th Doctor's Tardis interiors.
It's also worth noting there would a few weeks break before Episode 1 begins at the start of February so in some aspects, the Christmas special is a warmup in areas.
==Historical Notes==
In reality, Churchill actually spent Xmas 1941 in the USA with US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor having arrived on December 22 for a three week stay.
