Tweets Of The Holiday Season

A feast of festive tweets including a haunting in the Who family and a Spaced reunion

Christmas is a time for friends, family and life-threatening levels of booze, which might explain why things have been a little quiet in Twitsville over the past two weeks, with many of our favourite tweeters signing off for the holidays. Still, that didn’t stop Starwars.com’s leading lady keeping us entertained with talk of what she should nickname her breasticles: "For the record, I do NOT call my boobs The Skywalker Twins. Or Trick ’r Treat director filling us in on ꦑa Christmas getaway only a horror obsessive would even consider: &l👍dquo;Greetings from the , home of The Shining .”

visited by the ghost of characters past in his dreams. Makes you wonder if Russell T Davies can ever get to sleep at night.

@ Weirdly, first time I've *ever* dreamed about writing. Each version was acted out as I wrote it, too- with Gareth David-Lloyd in the lead.
@ @ You're being haunted by Ianto! 'You killed me, James!'
@ @ Yet still he lives in my dreams! It's like 🐼the Telltale Heart or so🔯mething, my guilt won't let me rest...

@ Doctor Who Xmas special was great. Can't remember the last time I saw that much lens f𒐪lare on the bridge of a spaceship🌠.

@ I think I preferred the writing on RTDs final full series; hugely entertaining stuff that series 5, whilst good, didn't quite matꦐch.

,

@ Happy Life Day %26 to you all!

.

@ Someone broke into the house in middle of night. Be♈at intruder to death. Did not notice red suit until too late. Sorry.

@ Sad that LF's gift box did not contain a 3PO swimsuit. Nor the young lady wearing i﷽t on the web. Perhaps that's what's under the tree!!!

.

@ Calamity! Everything on my tree is silver! LF's sent me buckets of 3PO ornaments. In gold! (of coꦓurse). What to do? Xmas is so stressful!!!!

.

@ Remember... pine needleꦍs ♍aren't just for Christmas. They're for the next eight months
