Well someone on this board has to mention the latest offering.
Actually I liked it . Capaldi was on top form, the story though OTT crackled along nicely.Matt Lucas's character was enjoyable, someone needs to tell me exactly who that character is, was he in Who previously?
The FX was top notch and it functioned adequately in scaring the kiddies.
The only peeve I have is that the trailer for the new series didn't excite me, seems the new companion is another Donna
Oh S##t.

I found it unremarkable but that's not so bad. At least it was upbeat which is a nice change from Moffat's usual turgid, morose gloom about death, aging, loss, grief etc. 6/10

I kind of liked it, there are things to pick, but overall, A fun Christmas story
What I wonder is, if this could turn out to be another "Donna" in where down the road, one of those or both of them could replace Bill, as Donna did Martha

I loved it. I'm certain that most of that was because I'm a comic book freak, so it scratched an itch, but I thought it was great.

And as for the new companion, I like her. As for being another Donna, that doesn't bother me. I liked Donna.
