"Another christmas day comes another christmas special; this time giving the festive season a punch once again by making something so traditional seem so scary; the first being Santa, the second being Angels and now: Snowmen. This episode introduces us to a whole selection of new features, including a new TARDIS design, a new title sequence and a brand new companion... wait, she's called Clara? But I thought Jenna just played Oswin in that amazing Dalek episode... I'm so confused!"

Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
I watched this last night and found it quite entertaining and enjoyable. I'd go a soft 7.5 or 8/10. It wasn't amazing, but then we've had the Ponds for so long that it will take some time to adjust without them.
That said, this was probably one of the least Christmas-y specials yet, though it did still tie in overall. Clara is definitely cute, but we'll have to wait to see if she can hold her own and be a proper companion.
