Yeah, this one felt similar to both Eleventh Hour and Pandorica/Big Bang in that Moffat had clearly been waiting his whole career to do this and he wasn't going to waste his chance. And whilst I do have time for most of his other 'Christmas' specials, this one just works. (Personally, I don't think it's until "Husbands" that we get another one that's quite as much fun and that's not really a Christmas special in the same way.)
