Critic Reviews for Doctor Who Last Christmas (2014 Special)
All Critics (13) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (1)
It's the sort of emotional concoction that Doctor Who pulls off better than just about any other TV series.
Viewers were left similarly fulfilled by this giddy, grin-inducing romp.
It's the wary dance between two holiday icons that steals the show.
A masterful episode of Doctor Who, which managed to be both utterly terrifying, very funny and a rather beautiful tribute to platonic love.
This year, we got a tangerine-loving hero Santa, Alien and Inception plot knock-offs, and a touching reunion.
"Last Christmas" managed to be kind of scary and yet still festive and funny. We were even introduced to a couple characters it might be nice to see again.
With this episode, Moffat may have reached a pinnacle of immunizing the show not only from criticism but from any sort of discussion at all. What's the point, when none of it is real?
Last Christmas may or may not have met up to fans' expectations - that will be your call, readers - but there were at the very least some tender moments between Danny and Clara and the final scene.
This was another solid episode of Doctor Who, even if it wasn't the best as far as Christmas specials go.
This is exactly the type of episode Doctor Who fans dream about, really. This episode carries no responsibility; it just has to be fun - which it very much is!
Striving for an adventure that's as scary as it is comically jolly, it seems to have successfully struck a balance between the two. It's a Christmas miracle.
Loopy as ever, but it had an internal logic to its loopiness, and many good gags.

Dec 31, 2018Nice idea - just lacks something.
-
Dec 22, 2018It was alright though definitely not among the best of the Christmas specials.
-
Dec 11, 2018This was a bizarre one for sure
-
Dec 02, 2018Starts scary, gets silly, then ventures into nightmares as only Doctor Who can, before becoming surprisingly touching.
-
Sep 25, 2018Amazing, i enjoyed the episode
-
Sep 18, 2018This show has gone downhill fast ...
-
Dec 24, 2017Although it is one of the worst doctor who Christmas episodes it has some great moments with Danny and Clara and the dream crabs are a genuinely scary concept which is sadly excuted poorly and the end would have been great if only Clara had died at the end but is ruined.
-
Jul 25, 2017Halloween may have fallen nearly two months prior to the events of this special, but the frights sure have dominated the holiday season, along with plenty of bittersweet moments and a great guest portrayal of Santa Claus by the great Nick Frost.
