Notes
- Featured the last appearance of Matt Smith in Doctor Who, where he regenerates into Peter Capaldi.
- Clara’s grandmother was played by Sheila Reid, who was in Doctor Who before as Etta in 1985’s “Vengeance on Varos“.
- The Doctor uses the “Seal of the High Council” as part of a prop he makes. This is a direct reference to “The Five Doctors“, when Jon Pertwee’s third Doctor took it from Anthony Ainley’s Master.

Matt Smith's finale on Xmas. It's about him living a very long time as 11 (over centuries) defending a town called "Christmas". All kinds of enemies try to take him out pic.twitter.com/y1hKgm4IUu

(hello cameos), but in the end he's done. There's an extensive scene talking about the 12 regeneration limit, which he's at. in theory Smith should be the last one, but he's pic.twitter.com/G7VJ8fIow5

granted a completely new life cycle by the Time Lords. Regeneration to Capaldi is different. Smith's final scene is super emotional. Wraps up most of Doctor 11 plot points. pic.twitter.com/CNss2W9eum
