Great episode – I watched at the start and rolled an eye, Santa is now real canon?! Sure there had been thrown away lines but there was Santa, real in Doctor Who?
Liked the dream within a dream and thought we’d really seen the end of Clara.
All through the episode I’d thought Shona was the new companion. Then the end showed Clara was to stay. Though what if Shona was back too next season?
After all – in the base she calls the Doctor a ‘Magician’ and the next episode is the Magicians Apprentice. Also it was Shona’s list that powered the nightmares. Does she have powers that pulled everyone together? Also who is Dave? Maybe we will find that out too!
Right back to boxing day, but had to join a forum to air my thoughts on Shona as A companion!
