Steven Moffat has confirmed which parts of this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special took place in a dream and which parts were real.

Written by Moffat, ‘Last Christmas’ aired tonight on BBC One and featured Spaced actor Nick Frost as Father Christmas.

Speaking at the press launch for the special at London’s BFI earlier this month, the showrunner stated: “Everything except the very last scene is a dream.”

Moffat added: “The [last shot of the] tangerine represents the fact that Santa Claus obviously stage-managed the whole thing to get the Doctor and Clara back together.”

Discussing Clara’s old-age look, for which she was in make-up for four hours, Jenna Coleman revealed: “Everyone started to act quite differently towards me and with a lot more respect. I’ve got some brilliant selfies!”
