I'm a fan and I can even remember Patrick Troughton, although Jon Pertwee was the First doctor I followed from start to finish. I have really enjoyed Peter Capaldi, and it's a testament to his skill as an actor that I have very rarely thought of Malcolm Tucker during this series. So far there's only been one duff episode, and I thought that Missy was the best incarnation of the Master since the reboot.

^ Truth. It was really only the first episode that made me think of The Thick Of It. All in all he's done a great job as the doctor.
Can't say what I think of the ending yet...I suspect (or hope) there is more to come. Either way...the christmas episode looks pretty good this year from thetrailers.

I always have mixed feelings about Doctor Who Xmas specials - I find them a lot more hit and miss than the main series. I'm expecting a couple of loose ends to get tied up - Danny Pink and Clara will probably wind up happy together but on a different timeline, and I get the feeling that that Missy is part of a bigger story arc for this series.

I'm looking forward to the Xmas episode.....and you can never count out the 'Master', he always seems to come back somehow.

That was the best Xmas episode in ... Ooohhh .... simply ages. Lots of homages to other sci fi classics, genuinely spooky, elves with attitude and Clara is staying on.

It starts here in a few minutes, and the family is watching.

I'll agree here. Quite liked it. Time will tell if it's my favorite xmas episode but it has a good chance.
