Written by showrunner Steven Moffat.
Upon first looking at the episode title the William Hartnell story The Massacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve came to mind but there’s hardly any commonality between the two stories.
Prior to watching this episode I was reminded that St John’s Ambulance logo on the TARDIS and so as I found out here the episode has nothing with the ambulance itself but the title was referring to the phone ringing from the TARDIS with the TARDIS representing the Saint John name due to the aforementioned logo.
The main guest star of this episode is Celia Imrie and I am pleased that she finally done a Who. In fact she is the latest Calendar Girl to appear in Doctor Who.
Here she plays Miss Kislet and it when she saw the TARDIS disappear on a CCTV that she reminded me of Yvonne Hartman in Army of Ghosts as she did the same thing in that episode.
Noticed that the book Summer Falls was written by Amelia Williams and that is formerly Amy Pond. Frustratingly the Doctor didn’t get to see the book but then again it is typical of the way Moffat structured his scripts.
The Spoonheads are literally Spoonheads.
After saying in regards to the TARDIS that it is smaller on the outside in the previous episode The Snowmen, Clara finally gets to say it is bigger on the inside but the Doctor was too preoccupied to fully appreciate her finally saying that line.
Once again Moffat has written a machine, in this case a Spoonhead, taking on the guise of the Doctor and it was quite a shocking revelation.
Impressive the Doctor riding a motorbike on the side of that building.
Even though I had read his name as a guest star for the second half of this season, it was quite unexpected to see Richard E Grant making his reappearance, albeit briefly, as the Great Intelligence so soon after his appearance in the previous episode The Snowmen.

In her formal debut as modern day Clara, The Bells of Saint John, the Doctor says her being a nanny made her look Victorian due to the Doctor still remembering Victorian Clara in The Snowmen.
As Jenna will soon be singing her Clara swansong and be seen as Queen Victoria things have sure come full circle.
