Tweets Of The Holiday Season

A feast of festive tweets including a haunting in the Who family and a Spaced reunion

Christmas is a time for friends, family and life-threatening levels of booze, which might explain why things have been a little quiet in Twitsville over the past two weeks, with many of our favourite tweeters signing off for the holidays. Still, that didn’t stop Starwars.com’s leading lady bonniegrrl keeping us entertained with talk of what she should nickname her breasticles: "For the record, I do NOT call my boobs The Skywalker Twins. Or Trick ’r Treat director Michael Dougherty filling us in on a Christmas getaway only a horror obsessive would even consider: “Greetings from the @StanleyHotel , home of The Shining http://yfrog.com/h89u3jj .”

@ simonpegg Doctor Who Xmas special was great. Can't remember the last time I saw that much lens flare on the bridge of a spaceship.

@ THEHITCHFACTORY I think I preferred the writing on RTDs final full series; hugely entertaining stuff that series 5, whilst good, didn't quite match.

@ bonniegrrl Happy Life Day %26 #MerrySithmas to you all! #starwars #SWHS http://twitpic.com/3jsmiw

@ warrenellis Someone broke into the house in middle of night. Beat intruder to death. Did not notice red suit until too late. Sorry.

@ mishacollins Happy holidays! I'm having Christmas with @sarapalinusa %26 her family. We're taking sniper rifles up in a helicopter to go reindeer hunting!

@ ADaniels3PO Sad that LF's gift box did not contain a 3PO swimsuit. Nor the young lady wearing it on the web. Perhaps that's what's under the tree!!!

@ ADaniels3PO Calamity! Everything on my tree is silver! LF's sent me buckets of 3PO ornaments. In gold! (of course). What to do? Xmas is so stressful!!!!

@ ADaniels3PO Remember... pine needles aren't just for Christmas. They're for the next eight months

@ BillBailey begone cookery tv, i care not for your jus's and faux macho posturing. Widdecombe revealed as a Sith Lord on Christmas Day..i'd watch

@ CancelledAgain I gave Tudyk a Wonderfalls DVD set. He's digging it.

@ JaneEspenson Just got the info about the first Torchwood read-thru! Get to meet the cast, hear RTD's ep 1 out loud. So excited!

@ JaneEspenson Rewriting episode seven of Torchwood today. Moving the B story forward relative to the A story, like adjusting duvet cover. #UnclearAnalogy

@ Markgatiss Trying out a fantastic new computer game in which one remains listless and uninspired. It's called EnWii.

@ wilw It's raining so hard, I've put the Bioshock soundtrack on the Sonos, just in case. #beprepared

@ jaimepaglia And we start writing S5 Monday! RT @SPCWrite : @jaimepaglia not sure I can last till June without #Eureka . Serious withdrawals already lol.

@ neilhimself Have decided not to be nervous about Tango Lessons. Have decided instead to obsess about Pie %26 finishing Dr Who ADR script. #ThereWillBePie

@ DaveMcKean Delighted to hear that I share a birthday with Bernard Cribbins, Mary Tyler Moore and Marianne Faithful.

@ neveldinetaylor Vatican City should be a map on modern warfare 2
