It’s a rather scary one for Christmas day, too (well, not just for Christmas day).
#Doctor who last christmas clara movie#
“There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive” There’s Nick Frost’s excellent Santa Claus flitting in and out, but the core is the Doctor, Clara, and a small group of people apparently stuck on a polar base. Moffat chose, for the bulk of the episode’s running time, a base under siege idea, albeit with a trip via Inception, Miracle On 34th Street and the well-used Alien boxset. Last Christmas, however, had just one main issue to resolve – that of Clara and the Doctor – but for the most part, it was a little freer. It had its moments, but, on the whole, it didn’t quite give Smith the send-off he deserved. That, and it took a tour via lots of other Doctor Who threads. It had 60 minutes to wrap up the tenure of Matt Smith’s Doctor and quickly introduce (for the second time) Peter Capaldi’s take on the Time Lord. Last year’s oft-criticised The Time Of The Doctor had a lot of work to do, in its defence. A poignant tangerine, that also seems to suggest that Santa is real. As he confirmed at the Q&A after the press screening, everything you see in the episode, from the first scene onwards, is strictly a dream, up until the finale, and the placing of Last Christmas‘ final tangerine.
