(And lots of other things beginning with an F that I won't go into.) Thankfully, 'Last Christmas' served as more of a season eight finale than it did a Christmas stand-alone.

It's no secret that 'Death in Heaven' was a disappointment for many. Clara deserves more than being abandoned for 62 years, only to pull a cracker that doesn't bang. I'm not sure how I feel about that ending. Clara was supposed to have grown old and died at the Doctor's side. If the Radio Times is to be believed, Jenna had a last minute change of heart about leaving the series, necessitating a eleventh hour script rewrite. For my money, those last ten minutes were best consumed with the possibility of Jenna leaving in mind. so I almost vomited from the stress.Įven if Moffat didn't actively disseminate any misinformation, I can see why he and Jenna were keen to keep the news of her non-departure vague.

Unlucky for me, I believe any old horse shit. The possibility of Jenna's departure transformed it into a tense tale of multiple fake-outs, and the more cognisant you were of the rumours, the more harrowing it was to watch. This was an episode which benefited greatly from the media confusion surrounding it. Clara: 'Every Christmas is last Christmas.'
