    This years xmas show ok but unoriginally.
    Hoping next series is more adult i know its a childrens show but please please can we have a companion who is more mature. Make the show scarier with more mystery. Bring back zigons, medling monk and other classic badguys

    Steven Moffat also said in DWM 442 that there will be no two parters in series 7 unless there really needs to be.

    yes moffat makes mistakes but i think he has done exceptionally well overall especially with series 6 which is the best series yet in my eyes. Also i thought this was a very well written episode, dont understand all the negativity surounding it.
