One of the better episodes rounds off this season. This Christmas special was very Christmassy with Santa making a strong cameo. The storyline was solid, although the many influences were a little hard to ignore.

This episode began with a thoroughly disturbing theory of the afterlife, settled into a standard episode and then blew me away with an astonishing revelation and a great cliffhanger.

An atmospheric, as opposed to frightening, episode that stands up well. The Earth is covered in trees that have sprung up overnight. The Doctor, Clara and Danny find out why.
The Sydney derby has become one of the great sporting highlights in Sydney. This was just the seventh one ever, but it was an absolute cracker (esp. if you're a Sydney FC fan).
An uninspiring match. Australia probably had the better of it, but were wasteful in the heat and humidity. It was nice to keep a clean sheet, but you can't win matches (our tournaments) if you can't score. Still more to do.
