Last Christmas

Don't you just hate those daft TV programmes that toss in a handful of tinsel and claim to be a Christmas special. The festive edition of Doctor Who has tossed in Santa Claus and a couple of elves. BBC One screens Last Christmas on Christmas Day at 18:15 hours ... er ... 6.15pm (CLICK). Shown are Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who and Nick Frost as Santa Claus. In November I bemoaned the descent of the last series of Doctor Who into utter silliness as it plagiarized classic science fiction and other stories (CLICK). This special looks like it could take the biscuit for rip-off dross. Cara in slippers and dressing gown is the one bright spark.
