Walford

The Tenth Doctor believed the phrase, "This is going to be the best Christmas Walford has ever had" was among the unluckiest sentences that one could utter. (TV: The Impossible Planet ^[+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)

In 1972, Jess Collins walked past the 33 to Walford. (COMIC: The Pestilent Heart ^[+]Mark Wright, DWM Comics (Panini Comics, 2016).)

Behind the scenes

Walford is the fictional east London borough in which the soap EastEnders is set.

The Tenth Doctor's belief that it was unlucky to claim Walford would have a great Christmas is a reference to the soap’s infamous tradition of having depressing Christmas specials, in which especially dramatic events, ranging from major revelations to death, would occur.
