This is why people dislike the Moffatt era - everyone is important, everyone could be the Doctor, we're all heroes. Yeah, yeah...

Clara gets the chance to be the Doctor here as it's that budget saving episode every series has where we only see him in snippets.

I'm not complaining. Despite the best efforts of Peter Capaldi the 12th Doctor is still a very dull incarnation, and travelling with him seems like a bit of a slog to be honest.

Unfortunately they were making the character of Clara a bit too full of herself prior to this (trying to pass it off as being endearing...) so giving her the sonic only added to this. The Doctor seemed a bit peeved towards her at the end, and I can only second this view.

She was so good during her time with Matt Smith's Doctor, what went wrong.

Weak plotting, a terrible depiction of Bristol and its people - I'm confused as to why people have given it such high scores.
