Talk:Last Christmas (TV story)
Series Placing[[edit source]]
Is there any reason this story is considered a part of series 9, rather than series 8? Considering when it was produced/when it aired/how it deals with the narrative threads left hanging from series 8, I'd say it was the last story of that series, as opposed to the first story of the next one. Is there any reason why this isn't the case? KingOrokos ☎ 14:45, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
- I believe it's because of production reasons, not story reasons. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 15:11, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
- I thought that might be the case, but I can't actually find any evidence that it was produced as part of series 9 rather than 8. Considering it was filmed September-October 2014, and filming for on series 9 only started in January 2015, I would presume it was considered part of series 8's production blocks. There might be some evidence I haven't found that says otherwise, though. KingOrokos ☎ 15:52, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
- Ever since 2012, production "seasons" have gone out of the window. This matter was discussed at Thread:180640, and we came to the conclusion that home video releases would form the basis of how we construed "seasons" following the end of production code use.

- Ah I see, fair enough. Thanks for clearing that up for me. KingOrokos ☎ 13:03, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

Production order[[edit source]]
This page and Under the Lake claims that Under the Lake and Before the Flood follow Last Christmas in production order, while Prologue says that Prologue, The Magician's Apprentice and The Witch's Familiar are next. Which is it? -- Tybort (talk page) 20:25, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
Regarding episode ending[[edit source]]
Hi. I'm just a bit curious about how this episode ended. Earlier in the episode when they thought they had woken up, clara pointed out that she had no head injury, therefore they were still dreaming (roughly). At the end they're both fine, no signs of injury, and there's a clementine in the windowsill. Did they actually wake up?

Question[[edit source]]
Why did you undo the winter specials i put there. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Companion99 (talk • contribs) .
- Because there is no "season" for winter specials. Keep in mind that if such a thing did exist, we would already have put it on the wiki. Shambala108 ☎ 21:23, July 27, 2019 (UTC)
- And more importantly, for this episode, it's exactly the same order as with Christmas specials, so there's really no need to have a duplicate nav. Holiday specials (or Festive specials) is helpful only when it would garner different results from simply having the Xmas nav.
