BBC keeps with tradition, releases horribly photoshopped Doctor Who promo

The newest promotional poster for this year's Doctor Who Christmas special, "The Snowmen", has been released.







Synopsis from the BBC:
Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and introducing Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara, his new companion, this year’s Christmas Special is called The Snowmen and follows their adventures as they battle the villainous Doctor Simeon (Richard E Grant) and his army of sinister snowmen.


The prequel to the episode and its official trailer were released November 17, for Children in Need. "The Snowmen" will air on BBC1 on Christmas Day.

What do you think, ONTD? I think it's horrible in that very special way only BBC photoshop can be, but I'm excited to meet Clara.

The difference is they cast Karen and Freema in those roles before they cast them as companions. They cast JLC as Oswin AFTER casting her as the new companion. So even if the characters are totally unrelated (which I doubt), it was at best a publicity stunt, unlike Freema and Karen.

Yeah, it was AT LEAST a publicity stunt. But if it turns out that is all it was, I will be annoyed because that is just really cheap.

But it probably goes a lot deeper than that.
