The thing that grabbed my attention first was how disgusting was the scene building up to eating the baby. OK, Doctor Who always has lots of innocent people being obliterated, exterminated, whatever, but eating a baby is just too much. And if it isn't bad enough, it's done with a song and dance performance lauding the act. If you could ignore the circumstances, it is totally typical of a Disney musical scene. A Disney celebration of eating a baby!!! Celebration!!!
The Doctor is his (or her) usual self with meaningless babble which can be funny and intriguing. But in this case it didn't feel like the usual Doctor. Maybe I missed that he wasn't arguing with the bad guys, but just babbling.
Ruby shows signs of becoming a great companion. She doesn't rattle easily and her mind is quick.
The post rescue scenes didn't make sense. I expected something totally obvious and it didn't happen. This episode is about coincidences, Christmas birthdays, and lost family. There was one thing the Doctor had a perfect opportunity to do which would have fit perfectly in all these things, and he didn't do it. Maybe the show runners are saving it for later.
