Wait, what? There won't be a new series this year? Are they trying to make sure that Thirteen won't have any chance of getting as many episodes as her predecessors? It's like they were trying to make the #notmydoctor wankers happy!
Dunno why, but yeah, no proper series until next year. :(

(and now I'm wondering if the christmas special was moved to New year to avoid completely skipping year, since Capaldi at least had an episode of Class and a Christmas special during his hiatus year)
Apparently it was because they'd run out of Christmassy ideas, which I can understand. Whatever you can say about this ep, the whole 'New Year' theme worked quite well.

Oh well, at least this means that I don't have to worry about spoilers for a while.
Heh. I'm thinking I can just settle down and focus on the Classic show, which suits me fine.
