The first three lines of this chorus are sometimes rendered 'Whoa, the hokey cokey', with the 'whoa' lasting three beats instead of two. It can also be said "Whoa, the hokey cokey cokey". The 1947 British film Frieda features a group of dancers in a dance hall singing and performing the hokey cokey. This episode marks the return of Jenna-Louise Coleman, who previously appeared in the series opener, "Asylum of the Daleks". [29] Coleman was cast because of her chemistry with Matt Smith, and especially because she was able to talk faster than he. [30] She auditioned for the role of Clara, not Oswin from "Asylum", as the concept of the two characters being the same only occurred to Moffat whilst casting for Clara. [31] The production team requested that the press and fans who attended advanced screenings keep Coleman's appearance a secret until "Asylum" was broadcast; the effort was ultimately successful. [32] Moffat stated that the introduction of a new companion made "the show feel different" and brought the story to "a new beginning" with a different person meeting the Doctor. [33] Smith said that Clara was different from her predecessor Amy, which allowed the audience to see a different side of the Doctor. [14] Coleman described her as resourceful and not intimidated, citing the reason for following the Doctor at the beginning as pursuing answers. [14] The Clara who would become a travelling companion of the Doctor would not debut until the spring premiere, " The Bells of Saint John"; [34] save for a brief cameo at the end of "The Snowmen". Coleman stated that she played each version as individuals with "trust that there would be a payoff" to her mystery. [35] In a 1982 radio advert for Video 2000 by Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones, a character refers to a television called the "Hokey Cokey 2000". [29]

Retrieved 2 January 2013. Writer Steven Moffat stated that he wanted an "epic" quality to the Christmas special. [14] The story would also show how the Doctor had responded to losing his previous companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams; Moffat said that "I think he's probably reached the point in his life where he's saying, 'Friendship for me is just postponed bereavement— I want to be on my own for a while'." [15] Moffat compared the withdrawn Doctor seen at the onset of the episode to the first appearances of the First Doctor ( William Hartnell) in 1963 and the Ninth Doctor ( Christopher Eccleston) in 2005. [14] He also attributed the idea of a retired Doctor to a plot proposed by Douglas Adams in the 1970s, but rejected by the production team at the time. [16] Continuing the theme introduced with the series' first five episodes, "The Snowmen" was promoted like a movie. A movie poster was released in the Radio Times, showing the Doctor and Clara ascending the ladder to the TARDIS. [17]

A second prequel, titled "Vastra Investigates", was released online on 17 December 2012. [3] At the end of a case, Vastra and Jenny converse with an officer from Scotland Yard and apologise for Strax's violent wishes for the culprit's punishment. Vastra explains Strax's origins as a clone warrior from outer space as well as her own as a prehistoric intelligent reptile to the officer, much to his astonishment. Vastra reveals that she was awoken by an extension to the London Underground and initially disliked humans, though that changed when she fell in love with Jenny. On the carriage ride home, Jenny notices it is beginning to snow and Vastra notes that the snow should be impossible because there are no clouds in the sky.
