Summary:
The Doctor lands in London in 1851 ad finds himself right in the Christmas spirit when he hears a woman calling his name. Soon he finds out that the woman didn't call him but another man who says he is the Doctor. To unravel this secret and also different deaths he follows the next Doctor. It seems that the Cybermen are in London but it's not really clear what they want or how they came here. While the Doctor investigates the strange happenings with the other Doctor, he finds out that the other man is human with the information of himself in his head. Together they find the place where the Cybermen bring all the children who shall work for them. The Cybermen turn Mrs Hartigan into a Cyberking but they haven't expected that she would be stronger as they are and now she has the intelligence of the Cybermen and the feelings of a human. The Doctor and his companions are able to save the children before they are killed and the Doctor faces Mrs Hartigan. He gives her a chance to retreat to another planet but when she refuses he does what he has to do to save London and the people.
"The Next Doctor" is a great Christmas Special and for a time you don't really now if you see a future Doctor or not because he so much like the Doctor himself. I liked the Cybermen in this episode and how they tried to take over London. Mrs Hartigan is quite spooky as Cyberking because she still has all her emotions which is not normal for the Cybermen. In the end the Doctor doesn't kill her but she destroys herself. It just isn't like the Doctor to kill someone and he gives everybody a chance. The Doctor is lonely again in this Christmas Special after he had to wipe Donna's memory. He seems to be a bit sad again but he finds a great companion in Jackson and it's so lovely to see them go together for a Christmas dinner at the end. The special effects are amazing again, especially when you look at the Cyberking. The episode has a lovely Christmas feeling and it definitely doesn't lack the action you expect from Doctor Who.

Quotes from "The Next Doctor"
Today I have some quotes from the series 4 Christmas Special "The Next Doctor" for you.
The Next Doctor: What have we got here, then?
The Doctor: Hold on, who are you?
The Next Doctor: I'm the Doctor. Simply the Doctor. The one, the only and the best.
The Next Doctor: I should introduce Rosita, my faithful companion. Always telling me off.
The Doctor: Well, they do, don't they?
The Doctor: But I've heard all about you, Doctor. Bit of a legend if I say so myself.
The Next Doctor: Modesty forbids me to agree with you, sir. But yes. Yes, I am.
The Next Doctor: It's strange, though. I talk of Cybermen from the stars, and you don't blink, Mr. Smith.
The Doctor: Ah, don't blink, remember that? Whatever you do, don't blink. The blinking and the statues with Sally and the angels. No?
The Next Doctor: You're a very odd man.
The Doctor: Mmm. I still am.
The Next Doctor: Then I beg you, John, help me.
The Doctor: Ah. Two words I never refuse.
Miss Hartigan: Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live. Although I've got some friends who might disagree with that. Would you like to meet them? Hark! I can hear them now. (The Cybermen arrive)
The Next Doctor: With all the things a Time Lord has seen, everything he's lost, he must surely have bad dreams.
The Doctor: Yeah.
The Next Doctor: There she is. My transport through time and space. The TARDIS!
The Doctor: You've got a balloon.
The Next Doctor: TARDIS. T - A - R - D - I - S. It stands for Tethered Aerial Release Developed in Style. Do you see?
The Doctor: Well, I do now. I like it. Good TARDIS.
Cyberman: You are the Doctor.
The Doctor: (waves; grins) Hello.
Miss Hartigan: But you promised me. You said I would never be converted!
Cyberleader: That was designated a lie.
Jackson Lake: Ladies and gentleman, I know that man! That Doctor on high! And I know that he has done this deed a thousand times. But not once, no, sir, not once not ever has he ever been thanked. But no more, for I say to you on this Christmas Morn, bravo, sir!
Jackson Lake: Tell me one thing. All those facts and figures I saw of the Doctor's life, you were never alone. All those bright and shining companions. But not any more?
The Doctor: No.
Jackson Lake: Might I ask why not?
The Doctor: They leave. Because they should or because they find someone else. And some of them, some of them … forget me. I suppose in the end, they break my heart.
