Doctor Who: Clara Oswald's 12 Greatest Moments

9. Clara Oswald And Danny Pink's Christmas

Poor Danny Pink and Clara Oswald fell in love but never got to live happily ever after. While many fans felt that the on-going love story turned much of Series Eight into the Clara and Danny show, there was no denying that there were some heartwarming moments between them and his death was a shocking tragedy, one that she arguably never recovered from. While their first awkward date provided plenty of laughs - and felt right out of Moffat's sitcom Coupling - the best moment between them on screen occurred ironically after his death. In Last Christmas, we got a glimpse of the happiness they were denied, Danny in a Santa suit and Clara living the happy christmas she always dreamed of. Samuel Anderson and Jenna had great chemistry and this scene epitomised why they were a perfect match for each other. Alas, it was not to be.
