The elves are surprised to have been upstaged it's not very often that happens.
Santa questions if she still believes in fairy-tales, as the TARDIS materialises. Santa even lists items Clara wanted at Christmas everything Clara wanted was actually practical items, instead of other items for hobbies and such. One elf points out the beard Santa grew to hide his identity has been public for some time.Ĭlara tries to deny his existence as a fairytale, having always believed her parents had given her presents instead of him, which the elves laugh at. They weakly attempt to pass themselves off as ordinary people, but after Clara sees the reindeer flying loose in the sky, they reveal their true identities. Ian quickly informs Santa that they've been sighted. Putting on her dressing gown, she leaves her room to investigate and discovers Santa Claus, his elves Ian and Wolf, reindeer and sleigh upon her roof, having crashed after an accident. On a frosty night before Christmas, Clara Oswald awakens to the sound of an object crashing on her rooftop. Something sinister lurks in an arctic base at the North Pole, and it's beyond even the most terrible, nightmarish creatures the Doctor has faced before. Reunited with the Twelfth Doctor, she faces what could possibly be her last Christmas. It also sees Dan Starkey, who previously portrayed the Sontaran Strax in numerous stories, now in a small part of the Elf Ian.Ĭlara Oswald is in for one Christmas Eve that she's never going to forget. It also dealt with Clara finally moving on from her grief.Ĭasting-wise, it was notable for featuring the first on-screen Doctor Who appearance of Michael Troughton, son of Second Doctor actor Patrick Troughton and brother of David Troughton, who had previously made several of his own guest appearances on the series. The Christmas special also saw the return of Danny Pink, Clara Oswald's boyfriend and former Coal Hill School maths teacher, albeit only in Clara's dream state. This story dealt with repairing the bond between the Doctor and Clara after they parted ways under the belief that the other had a better life waiting for them instead of continuing their adventures. It guest-starred Nick Frost as a dream manifestation of Santa Claus, previously seen at the end of Death in Heaven as a lead-in to this story. It was the show's tenth Christmas special since its revival and the first of four Christmas specials starring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.
Last Christmas was the 2014 Christmas Special of Doctor Who. And it's Christmas, too! Rhino seems to be reissuing the individual albums (at least Wildmania, which is sadly, his weakest) to stores, so you might want to keep an eye out for that (or preferably, if they're re-issued, his two with Barnes & Barnes, Pronounced Normal and Nothing Scary, which are both very, very good.) - Rev.You may wish to consult Last Christmas for other, similarly-named pages. This isn't one of his best songs, but, like all of Wild Man Fischer's stuff, it's catchy and gets stuck in your head. Most of his output (the album he recorded on Zappa's Bizarre label hasn't been reissued Gail Zappa is sitting on the rights and is refusing to release it) was compiled, along with a bunch of new and bonus tracks, as The Fischer King, and his most recent work is in the documentary. After that, Barnes & Barnes produced his last two LPs. When he and Frank Zappa had a falling out (Larry's a paranoid schizophrenic, and had a violent episode near Gail Zappa and an infant Moon), he disappeared for a while and came back on Rhino Records, with his first single, " Go To Rhino Records," for the new label (which was THEIR first single too!), and put out their first LP, Wildmania. For those who missed that great film, Larry "Wild Man" Fischer's been putting out records since the 1960s, when he was discovered by Frank Zappa (who seemed to see him more as a freak show to promote himself, although there is controversy as to whether or not he actually liked Wild Man Fischer as a musician/singer or not the promotion of the album, however, makes the "Freak Show" side of things a bit more likely). The Northwest Film Forum played it earlier this year, but it might play in town again, or be released on DVD. The Wild Man Fischer story is very, very interesting and very, very sad-a documentary was made about him this year, Derailroaded, which I heartily recommend to everyone. Demento on vocals, taken from the Rhino Handmade release The Fischer King. Song Notes: This is a collaboration between Wild Man Fischer, Barnes & Barnes and Dr. Appears On (Mixes): Most Folks Call Them Green Onions, But They're Really Scallions
