For all the psychological chills, this was also the most Christmassy Christmas special they’ve ever done.īecause, oh yes, Santa Claus. But the dream crabs were marvellously effective. Steven Moffat’s Doctor Who has already told us not to blink, breathe or turn around – and with “think” now added to the list, we’re fast running out of things we actually can do without facing certain death. This one played to the show’s claustrophobic strengths – a remote base-under-siege adventure turned out to be something even smaller than that, a story that took place only in the imaginations of its protagonists. Last year’s special, The Time of the Doctor, was overblown, but it was Matt Smith’s finale, so it needed to be. Merry Christmas! And how about that: probably the only story that will ever be told in which “and I woke up and it was all a dream” was not a lazy get-out but a miraculous fist-pump of a happy ending.
