The BBC have officially announced that the Doctor Who Christmas special has been canceled, and show runner Russel T Davies (RTD) has fessed up that he was lying all along and never wrote a script for it. This puts the show in the same position as it was in 1990, when it was effectively cancelled until it was rebooted 16 years later.

The writing on that show went to ---- back when Peter Capaldi was playing The Doctor. Haven't watched it in years.

I grew up watching this show. The original concept of it was undoubtedly one of the best ideas ever - a vehicle which allowed them to explore historical settings as well as science fiction allegories. The show lost a lot of potential way back when it dropped the former and decided to focus almost only on the latter.
