The Doctor encounters Clara for a second time, she's in the employ of Colonel Latimer, who's governess fell into the garden's pond which has frozen over.
We have had some sweet, some soft, and some flat Christmas specials, this was much darker, it moved the Christmas episode in a totally different direction.
I said no fairytale, maybe a snippet of Jack and the Beanstalk, the staircase up to where? The redesigned TARDIS room looks fabulous, I love it, it's gone from looking organic to high tech.
Great to see Vastra, Jenny and Strax, although I thought he was killed in a Good man goes to War. Clara is a great addition to the show, it's a great performance from Jenna Coleman, so different to Asylum of the Daleks. Romance AGAIN though, seriously it's only Donna that's not been after him, please not the falling in love with the Doctor again.
Richard E.Grant is totally brilliant as Simeon, at last he's appeared in the show. He cuts a really nasty villain.
The best opening credits, since the show started I love them, feel like they are a proper continuation from the classic series.
Some brilliant special effects, I love the imagery of the frozen governess, scary as.
The Sherlock cameo was very funny, even the music felt like it belongs on that other series.
The first time we see a memory worm, these would appear again in future episodes. The Snowmen look great, technically 2012's Yeti?
I think this is contender for the best Christmas episode of all time, the introduction of an old foe worked wonders. The big reveal at the end is brilliant. It's fantastic 9/10
