The Return of Doctor Mysterio. Mediocre. To be fair, it's not as shrilly awful as Husbands of River Song, but it's still disappointing after the surprisingly good Last Christmas, which managed to be a decent Who story even with the trappings of Christmas frippery. This isn't even very Christmassy. There are some amusing moments and I did laugh out loud at the bit with the reporter torturing the squeaky toy head to get info out of Capaldi, which was so absurd it was genuinely funny (for some reason I can totally imagine that scene in Coupling). On the whole though this was pretty meh.
