New Last Christmas Details & Big Clara Clue?
The latest issue of DWM (#481
Synopsis:
Four crew members of an Ice Cap Polar Base – Ashley Carter, Bellows, Professor Albert and Shona – are under attack from the alien Kantrofarri. Fortunately for them, help is on the way. But desperate though their situation is, how willing will they be to accept one rescuer who arrives in a police box, and another who turns up on a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer?
Quote:
SANTA: “It’s Christmas Day, it’s the North Pole, and you’re dying. Who are you going to call?”
Moffat on Clara:
“For Clara, it’s six months later. She’s been coping with life without the Doctor, life without Danny, never expecting all that to start up again – and magically it does.
I think at the beginning of the episode, you might start to think we’re going to ignore what happened [in Death in Heaven]. But that quickly becomes the spine of it – the fact that they’ve been lying to each other and all that – that becomes very important. That’s the emotional story.
How it all resolves, that is sort of what Last Christmas is really all about… but it plays at being Santa Claus and Alien along the way!”
Most intriguingly the preview for the next issue of the magazine (out in early January) perhaps offers the biggest clue yet on Clara’s fate stating: “Jenna Coleman reflects on her time as Clara Oswald.”
An odd time to have such a feature if she’s not leaving, don’t you think?
Coleman is also quoted as saying “Clara’s heart lies with the Doctor. She can’t give him up – but that’s dangerous. She realises there’s no going back…”
