Do you think there's relevance behind the Doctor Who 2015 calendar?

Well technically their relationship was tainted by evil. Missy arranged for them to meet as a kind of experiment. However it doesn't mean Clara herself is evil or she is going to hurt or betray the doctor (.again). Look at what he said in DW. He cared enough about her to forgive her when she was grieving for Danny and tried to destroy the tardis keys.Think they will be ok at least for the start of S9. Who knows what fate has in store for them later on.

There's a few inconsistencies with that calendar. For a start, the classic series TARDISes all have a Doctor in the doorway, while the new series TARDISes don't. What could that mean? (Nothing, probably.)

McGann and Hurt are lumped together without a TARDIS or a monster. Is it because the War Doctor will return as a villain? Or maybe he's a TARDIS? Or a villainous/monstrous TARDIS? Or is it just that 13 Doctors don't go into 12 months?

Tennant's "monster" is an Ood, which is only monstrous when manipulated.

Very doubtful Moffat is cackling away to himself thinking 'I wonder if they'll ever get the subtle spoiler hint I asked the calendar makes to include mwa ha ha ha'

I'll admit it is a little strange but I think it's just with Clara being the current companion they felt she needed to be included, and thought the most appropriate place to show her was in the picture with Capaldi, not realising how it looked against all the other pictures.

Either that or the calendar designer is a Clara hater and they designed it to look that way purposely as a bit of jaded sarcasm.

I think it's simply because each of the other Doctors tends to have their most iconic monster behind them; the one you would associate most with their era. It's the same with the coins which were released and most of the monsters are the same for each Doctor (and with the coins it was explicitly stated that each Doctor was accompanied by their most iconic monster). Twelve hasn't got one yet; he won't until the end of his era. Therefore it makes sense to use Clara as right now she is the thing most associated with Twelve's era.

Also, that calendar would have been designed and put together last summer, before any of Capaldi's episodes had been shown.
The designer would have had very little photographic source material for PC's era apart from early publicity pictures of Peter and Jenna.
