'Doctor Who' 2014 Christmas Special Spoilers, Title: Dec. 'Last Christmas' Is "The Thing Meets Miracle On 34th Street" Says Steven Moffat
The 2014 Doctor Who Christmas special, entitled "Last Christmas," is premiering on Dec. 25 - the first time in the series' history - and just this week Steven Moffat revealed more details on the episode's plot. Starring Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman and Nick Frost as Santa Claus, this special is sure to be one for the record books, especially since Moffat just compared it the The Thing and Miracle on 34th Street. (SPOILERS to follow)
"I sense that the very people who think they might hate this won't hate it at all," he told Radio Times, according to The Inquisitr. "Of all the Christmas specials I've done, it's the one most like the paradigm Doctor Who episode."
Moffat admitted that he didn't go too wild with the character of Santa Claus, though.
"It does look like the most insane moment when Santa turns up [at the end of "Death in Heaven"], but we haven't gone off our rockers. No, Santa is written in properly, in a science fiction way, into Doctor Who," he said. "It's The Thing meets Miracle on 34th Street - the movie we've all been waiting for. It's certainly the strangest bloody thing I've ever written."
