Peter Capaldi's Doctor and Clara end up trapped on an Arctic base with scary things lurking about, and who are you going to call? Santa Claus, obviously, and he really does turn up. What follows is a clever, creepy and oddly cosy blend of Christmas telly and nightmare, with enough spookiness to keep everyone on the edge of the sofa. Someone will swear they don't like the monsters, then watch the whole thing from behind a cushion. A proper festive romp that rewards a second viewing once the sherry has worn off.
