Capaldi Teases Last Christmas & Clara’s Fate
Capaldi said: “It’s a rather clever episode because it’s incredibly festive and jolly, but also quite terrifying. I’d say it’s one of the scariest Christmas adventures ever.
“Santa has crashed into Clara Oswald’s roof so he’s there with his elves, but while this might otherwise be and excuse for cheer and happiness it’s actually a nightmarish development, and only the Doctor knows why! So the Doctor has to arrive there too to save Clara from what Santa being there means for her life!”
On Santa existing in the story he said: “The Doctor is slightly competitive with any semi-mythical characters and it’s the same with Santa. The Doctor probably thinks Santa’s had things to himself for too long.”
But he adds: “Kids will be glad to know that Santa will remain in tact by the end of the show. He’s not a Santa robot or Santa alien or anything sci-fi like that! He’s the real genuine Santa Claus!”
On Clara he teased: “There’s something quite profound that happens to her in this story… but of course I can’t go into that.”
