Death of Clara 3 | Hell Bent

Free at last from the confession dial in which he was imprisoned for more than 4 billion years, the Doctor rocks up at a diner in the Nevada Desert armed only with an electric guitar and a story he needs to tell, of a furious Time Lord hell bent on snatching his friend from the very jaws of a tragic and needless death.

The diner's sole employee seems ready to listen to the Doctor's tale of fury and woe, and although she looks familiar to us, sadly he fails to recognise that she's exactly the person he's been looking for to fill the hole in his memories.

Yes, it's CLARA! Geoff's favourite Doctor Who companion!
And the favourite of many others, it seems...
