Doctor Who: 10 Questions That Need Answering From The Day Of The Doctor Trailers

6. What's Clara Up To?

Doc 61 Lost among the three Doctors at work, the raging Time War and Rose seeming to know more than she should (which we'll get into later) is 'the impossible girl'. Clara saved the Doctor in almost the biggest way possible by jumping into his timeline at the end of last season and undoing the damage done by The Great Intelligence. So what exactly is Clara going to do in the special? In fact, what can she do? The episode is looking to be geared towards showing the Doctor's hidden past and exploring the different aspects of his character and this should obviously be the case. Nobody's going to like if 'The Day of the Doctor' isn't about the man himself. Clara does still deserve some attention and considering how important she was the last time Doctor Who was on our screens, she really doesn't appear in these trailers much. We see her zap away with a vortex manipulator and being very sad at something, but that's practically it. The rest of the time we see her, she's taking a backseat to the Tennant-Smith bromance. What is Clara's role in all this?
