It was the first Christmas episode to be genuinely scary and Clara has us all intrigued – this was the best festive Doctor Who special in years

'You poured your darkest dreams into a snowman, and look what it became'
Welcome back, Merry Christmas, and wow. The Snowmen was easily the finest Christmas special under this regime. After last year's dog's giblets of an episode, it needed to be, but this poetic romp was actually the best since The Christmas Invasion, and possibly better. It had everything we like about Doctor Who (frights, romance, running, a menacing baddie, lizard people) while being just sentimental enough to tick off a lot of things we like about Christmas.
But this was no retelling of a festive classic. Bravely, perhaps foolishly, »
