This was a nice episode. A really good mix of warmth, whimsy and menace. I really identified with the idea of nested dreams because I once had a couple bad nights of them when I started a medication years and years ago. Nothing [!@#$%^&*] with your sanity faster.

I usually roll my eyes at appearances of "real life" Santa Claus on shows because I'm basically dead inside but I liked this snappy, sarcastic, "got sh!t to do" Santa. Loved the Doctor's glee at getting to drive the sleigh. After a season of a far darker and more cynical Doctor, that was a "looveleh* thing to see. (That's my version of the way Clara says "lovely." Which IMO is second only to the way she says "Shoot oohp!")

When Clara hears the sound that the TARDIS makes and says, "I never realized how much I love that sound." I was feeling the same way. I also love that lilting woodwind tune that plays in Christmas episodes during happy family scenes and reunions. I'm sure there's an official Doctor Who name for it but if so, I don't know it. It played in the background when Clara was dreaming about Danny waking her up in the morning.

I could've really grown to like Clara and Danny as a couple if I'd gotten to see it happen in real time but I didn't so *shrug*.

So Clara's sticking around. Meh. Whatever.

Supposedly Jenna was unsure until near the very end about whether to stay or go.

I have mixed feelings about Clara (probably the most polarizing companion in many years), but Jenna and Peter Capaldi are absolutely superb together. He's also the main reason she decided to stay.

No missing episodes, sadly, but some lost Desert Island Disc recordings have been found, including Diana Rigg and the one and only William Hartnell.

The excerpt of Bill's episode.

I wasn't expecting his voice to be so clear and strong.

This is one of his few audio interviews available isn't it?

In spinoff news, Jemma Redgrave's Kate Stewart, daughter of the Brigadier, has just been given a Big Finish audio drama series.

Rumors abound that the planet of Peladon as well as the Ice Warriors may or may not be featured in Series 9 this year, which I believe is already shooting. Alex Kingston also dropped a comment at a recent American convention that suggested she may be making an appearance as River Song - something about the size of her trailer despite DW supposedly now having a bigger budget - but she may have just been making a joke.

    • This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential 
    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
