Doctor Who: 12 Things To Take Away From Last Christmas

3. Second Chances

Will she stay? Won't she stay? Clara Oswald's future with the Doctor has been the subject of much speculation since she parted ways with the Doctor at the end of the last series but at the end of Last Christmas she decided to step aboard the TARDIS once more for timey-wimey escapades anew. She didn't even bother changing out of her dressing gown and that's when you know someone's got the urge for adventure. So it's finally been confirmed that our impossible girl will be back to fight another day in 2015 and, according to Jenna Coleman, she'll be sticking around for the whole of Series 9, too. Let's not forget Shona, though, whose proposed introduction as a new companion could make for some interesting dynamics if she's travelling alongside Clara, too. There's plenty of room in the TARDIS for the both of them but would three be a crowd? Clara initially felt like a spare part in Last Christmas so would Shona's return exacerbate her insecurities? And will Clara be a little rusty following her time away from the Doctor? How would Shona take to travelling with "the skeleton man and the girl in the nightie"? There was definitely a sense of foreboding as she ran back into the TARDIS but, as always, time will tell.
