Yeah I thought that, the only other Xmas episodes I really loved were The Christmas Invasion and The Snowman, but otherwise RTD's Xmas specials were generally too often inconsequential romps for my tastes, and Moffat's Xmas specials lean towards being schmoopy fairy tales. This felt like a nice mix of still bringing in the Christmas imagery, but making a nicely spooky episode at the same time
And Shona could have potential as a companion, but I am glad that they're keeping Clara around for a little bit longer!
