A Ghost Story for Christmas (webcast)

A Ghost Story for Christmas is the title of a three-minute webisode uploaded to the BBC Doctor Who Adventure Calendar website on 24 December 2009. Narrated by John Barrowman in-character as Jack Harkness, the mini-story tells of the Weeping Angels and depicts their abduction of a young woman named Julia Hardwick.

The actual title of the story is not presented on screen. This title is the one given on the original website.

Synopsis
Jack Harkness narrates an account of the Weeping Angels and their origin, as a young woman named Julia Hardwick examines clues suggesting that she, in her future, would find herself living in the 1880s under the name Julia Baker. Julia's investigations eventually lead her to a cemetery where, moments after finding a gravestone reading "Julia Baker: 1987-1949", a Weeping Angel reaches to touch her.

Story notes

 * This is a sequel of sorts to the television story Blink by Steven Moffat. Footage from Blink featuring Sally Sparrow, Kathy Nightingale, the Weeping Angels and the Tenth Doctor is incorporated.
 * The webisode is presented in a similar format to Captain Jack's Monster Files, but with original footage of the character Julia Hardwick added. It is generally considered to be an installment of the Monster Files, but stands apart from the rest of the series, with no reference made to it being part of the Monster Files. In particular, unlike other Monster Files installments, the webisode contains no footage of Captain Jack.
 * The identity of the narrator as Captain Jack is only established when he makes a joke about how the Angels would handle his immortality.
 * Julia's original last name is visible in a newspaper article shown on screen; her later name appears on a tombstone.
 * Like the other videos created for Captain Jack's Monster Files, this clip was technically viewable only from within the UK, though it immediately was reposted to other video sharing sites.
 * Despite its title, the story makes no reference to Christmas — or to ghosts — whatsoever.
