A rumour from The Mirror is not official.
I’d also feel I should point out that the rumour is that it is being moved to New Year’s Day. We already know they are/have(?) filmed a Christmas special.
Finally I have no friggin clue how you’ve conspiracied up that last sentence of yours.
Edit: forgot to point out that I find running out of ideas a lame excuse, seeing as RTD’s specials had nothing to do with Christmas except some superfluous tacked on stuff.
