Di I tell you I have a nephew … ?
I didn’t?
I’ve got a nephew.
He’s called Jude, I should add: he’s four — tomorrow — and quite fun to be with.
Except when it’s Christmas Day, of course: every single present is his, and has to be opened, now … !
Oh, and inevitably … ?
Well, when Donatello Turtle, the Batmobile and Spiderman get into a punch up, it turns into a tie … between the Batmobile and Donny. Spiderman not standing much of a chance against a two ton salt flat racer and a six foot chelonian.
It makes sense …
When you’re four, overexcited, and been at the e-numbers.
Needless to say, I’m thinking he’s EXHAUSTING …

But that’s Christmas for you: it’s a time for families to be together, get very tired, possibly argue — although mine didn’t, today — and enjoy fun, games and stuff …
Jude, bless him, being Jude … ?
Was saying “Can I open this one, now?” from the moment I got in the door.
And “Can we do this now … ?”
Bless … !
We …
No, scrub that, Mummy — my kid sister Ruth, in other words — manage to distract him ofr long enough that I, Anna — my other sister — and my Mum managed to catch tonight’s episode of Dr Who.
This year’s Christmas special.
The Christmas special that is … Last Christmas …
It’s …
Interesting …
~≈‡≈~
We join the episode when Clara awakens on Christmas night: having heard something crashing on the roof of her house.
Something that turns out to be very familiar: a crashed sleigh, pulled by sleighs, with elves … and a red suited driver who looks suspiciously familiar.
It’s only when Santa is trying to convince Clara he’s a roofer, that the Doctor turns up: turns up, orders her into the TARDIS …
And THEN takes her to what appears to be a polar base: a polar base whose crew … have an infirmary …
And a full one, whose patients are having headaches of serious proportions.
~≈‡≈~
Now … ?
Did I enjoy tonight’s episode?
Yes, I did, actually.
Although I must say, it’s not as stunning as some of the series/Peter Capaldi episodes: I still think Death In Heaven and Mummy On The Orient Express get the ‘Best Of’ nod.
On the other hand … ? On the other hand, whilst I found the whole ‘dream in a dream’ thing slightly reminiscent of Amy’s Choice, I found Last Christmas to be a competently done, entertaining.
Personally?
That scores for me.

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
