Fridge / Doctor Who S33 Short "Clara and the TARDIS"

Fridge Brilliance

• It is not made clear when in the continuity of Series 7B this minisode takes place, other than it's implied to take place the first time Clara spends the night in the TARDIS (normally the Doctor takes her home after their adventures). It was not released, however, until after the airing of the season finale. If the minisode takes place during the interval between "The Name of the Doctor" and "The Day of the Doctor", the next episode to air, it's notable that the relationship between Clara and the TARDIS is much improved by the time of "Day of the Doctor," to the point where Clara has become the first known companion to be allowed to close the TARDIS doors by snapping her fingers. Perhaps the girl-to-ship talk in this minisode, coupled with the TARDIS' grand mal practical joke led to this improvement.
