Here’s the song. Goblins bragging about how they’re going to eat a baby - happy Christmas! 😂 I guess this is what RTD meant by going more into fantasy.

I think it's time for me to finally jump ship. What the hell are they doing with Doctor Who?

It’s not the best writing, but idk, it just seems like absurd fun and not even close to how campy Doctor Who has been before.

'Oh corks! I'm not putting that on at the New Regency!' 'I should think not, Henry. The other lot were bad enough, but this..!' ''I think you underestimate the considerable compendium of copious coinage that this lot could produce, in the hands of an energetic and endeavoring empresario whose prodigious powers of potent promotion could entice the populace to a performance. With, of course, a most generous percentage for the house, of course.''

I'm not basing the quality of an era on a Christmas episode - ever. So won't get up in arms over a Labyrinth pastiche, a darkly comic one, even if the song is naff. Which it is.
RTD loves silly Christmas eps. Killer Father Christmases, spinning deadly trees, the Queen waving her thanks outside the palace as The Doctor stops the Titanic crashing into London, a new Doctor saving the day in his PJs with a satsuma while quoting The Lion King (literally Disney). None of those stopped us getting Blink, Journey's End, Waters Of Mars etc.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

It wears out its welcome pretty quickly: maybe if it was 30 seconds shorter, with an overhaul of some lyrics that aren’t quite scanning ok…
I love the idea of Doctor Who doing a Labyrinth ripoff (very Tom Baker era), and the references to other horror icons in the song tells me that it isn’t just going to be a homage but something a bit more meta. Trouble is, RTD often struggles with comedy, IMNSHO. He does funny moments brilliantly but his sustained efforts just fall a little flat to me.

Yeah I think it would work if shorter. & I agree the lyrics could be better, especially as they all sing about eating the baby then change to singing about feeding it to the goblin king!
