The Doctor Who Christmas Specials season 1 episode 3 entitled "Voyage of the Damned" takes place onboard the luxury spaceship "The Titanic". The episode introduces a new cast of characters as the Doctor finds himself accidentally transported to the Titanic, which has been converted into a luxury space cruiser. However, things soon take a turn for the worse when the ship collides with a meteor and begins to hurtle towards Earth.
The Doctor must work together with the remaining crew members and passengers to prevent the ship from crashing into the planet and causing a catastrophic disaster. Along the way, they must also contend with a group of robot angels and a villainous businessman who has his own agenda.
Despite the danger, there are still some moments of levity and humor as the Doctor's eccentric personality clashes with the more prim and proper personalities of the ship's inhabitants. The special also features a standout performance from guest star Kylie Minogue, who plays a waitress who gets caught up in the chaos.
As always with Doctor Who, the episode explores themes of bravery, sacrifice, and what it means to be a hero. It serves as a thrilling and emotional conclusion to the first season of the revived series, setting the stage for more adventures to come.
