Wasn't it a big plot point from season five that everybody on Earth forgot about the stuff that happened during the RTD years?

As much as I dug Capaldi and didn't want to see him go, I do think the Christmas Special was an episode too far (regardless of what I feel about the episode's quality itself) - Moffat obviously didn't want to throw all the big finale moments into the last episode of the season only to do it all again a few months later, but both episodes I feel ended up suffering because of it. It's why to me at least Whittaker's appearance and her,"Aww, brilliant!" reaction felt like a real breath of fresh air. Even if I don't know how well Chibnall will do as showrunner, at least it feels like we're getting something new and different now.

Moffat and Capaldi weren't originally supposed to do the Christmas special. They only stepped in to do it because Chibnall wasn't ready, and Moffat felt like if they didn't do one the show probably wouldn't get the chance to do one again in the future. That's probably why it felt a bit tacked on.
