"Santa could never be evil, for heaven's sake!" Moffat said at the season 8 DVD panel this week. "Santa is both real and a Christmas hero. No no, don't worry any parents who were worried about that. Santa is presented, as he is in real life, as a great Christmas hero."
Moffat kept the spirits high, adding: "He actually is the real Santa. He's been faking it up until now. For the first time he's allowing the natural color of his beard to show through. You could figure it out, you know, Nick Frost, Nicholas Frost - you see?"
