When Clara, now an adult, attempted to make a family Christmas dinner, her gran attended, along with Dave and Linda. Despite her old age, Clara's gran perked up upon seeing the Eleventh Doctor naked, and was very interested in taking him up on his suggestion to play Twister. She was disappointed with the more serious Christmas crackers that Linda had brought, preferring ones with jokes. The Doctor later expressed a similar opinion.
