It might explain why some of us are finding Coleman so annoying. Her 'ditzy' persona is at conflict with Capaldi's dark edge.

She was slightly annoying, now she's becoming teeth-grindingly irritating - that part when she's on the phone to Danny, politely trying to make excuses when any normal script-writer would have had her say "Sorry, can't speak, I'll call you back" but her silly schoolgirl whittering spoiled the whole scene for me.
You say that but people in a stressful situation may react differently and I doubt I would just tell someone that I am busy if something was trying to kill me.

I find Clara is so much better with Capaldi and works because there isn't all the silly flirting.

Also maybe its a Scottish thing but I love the humour they are giving Capaldi. So hard and uncaring then them hits out with a pure killer joke.
