In a poll conducted on Twitter<\/a>, which has recently been rebranded as X, we asked fans to choose their favourite from the Doctor Who festive specials, including the Thirteenth Doctor\u2019s New Year episodes.<\/p>\n The first round, in which they were split by Doctor (with the Tenth Doctor getting two separate polls due to the vast number of his specials) saw The Runaway Bride, The End of Time Part 2, A Christmas Carol, The Husbands of River Song and Eve of the Daleks all sail through.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in the second round, it was just The Runaway Bride and A Christmas Carol which made it through, with the former going on to take the crown, with 53.4 per cent of the final vote, against the latter\u2019s 46.6 per cent.<\/p>\n This means that Donna Noble\u2019s first episode, The Runaway Bride<\/strong>, has been crowned the best ever Doctor Who festive special \u2013 hardly surprising given the duo\u2019s enduring popularity, as seen by their return for the 60th anniversary specials<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course, in future polls we\u2019ll be adding The Church on Ruby Road into the mix, with Ncuti Gatwa<\/a>\u2018s first full episode airing on Christmas Day at 5:55pm this year.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The special, which will also introduce us to new companion Ruby Sunday, as played by Millie Gibson, has been called a \u201ccomplete reinvention\u201d<\/a> by showrunner Russell T Davies, although he was quick to note that it\u2019s \u201cnot a reboot\u201d.<\/p> ![\"Doctor](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/doctor-who-christmas-carol-0012560.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"doctor-who-christmas-carol\\"\/")
