There is something truly magical about the Victorian governess Clara climbing up the ladder into the clouds and discovering the mysterious Doctor's TARDIS floating high above London. Moffat creates a magical fairytale for his mid-series seven Christmas special The Snowmen and this Clara fits right in; barmaid by night, children's governess by day and filled with wit, enthusiasm and intelligence, this version of the Impossible Girl immediately hit a chord with audiences. Her best moment was the scene where she entered the TARDIS for the first time. Not only was it Clara's first look inside, but it was the audience's too. The new look TARDIS was much more in keeping with the classic era and remains in place to this very day (with the addition of Capaldi's bookcases). But what was so good about this was her reaction. Her cool headedness completely throws the Doctor off balance and with that he is ready to give her a key to the TARDIS. This is what makes her death so unexpected and, after the death of Oswin in the Dalek asylum, really sets up the Impossible Girl mystery in style.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
