We RE-review Capaldi's very first Christmas Special. Expect special appearances by Dream Logic, Swamp Thing and Hulk Hogan.

Ho-Ho-Holy Moly, it’s Christmas Eve and as though in a dream Clara wanders onto her ample roof terrace to find Santa Claus and his two elven compadres, Ian and Wolf, attempting to rein in their flying deer. It’s a Christmas miracle! Or is it? The Doctor soon arrives and demands to differ.

Doc spirits Clara away to the relative safety of a scientific research base near the North Pole only to discover that it’s crawling with alien face-huggers whose modus operandi includes inducing a euphoric dreamstate in their unsuspecting victims while they feast on their brain matter.

Occupying the base are a chav, a sexy senior citizen, an account manager and a dirty old man, and four Empty-Headed crewmembers in the infirmary, but don’t get anyone started on what they’re doing there because it’s a long story. Are they really there? Does Santa really exist? Do any of us?!
