Mister Magister...?

My feelings on watching the "Christmas on BBC One" trailer:
0:11 - is that really Jonathan Creek?
0:18 - oh my god he's doing the voice it is Jonathan Creek!
0:36 - that is the Master. no-one puts on gloves like that except the Master.
0:48 - why is the person in the gorilla suit wearing a cyberman mask?
So, obviously, I have massive joy about the fact that the Doctor and Jonathan Creek both have new shows in the same calendar year, for the first time since 1996. (Let's all take a moment to consider curly-haired men. Ahh.) But do you know what's getting me the most?
The Master at 0:36.
I mean it clearly is. Beard and black leather like no other, right?
..right?

I'm looking forward to Christmas. I mean I know it's likely to suck as the Christmas specials nearly always do, but I have high hopes for Victorian Cybermen controlled by evil pretty women in red dresses.

This theory, and indeed the Master-spotting, entirely due to the combination of the following things:
- other people in my workplace being better geeks than me
- the judicious application of mulled wine
