B022 The Husbands of River Song – The 2015 Christmas Special

A pointless sidekick, an inconsistent robot and a massive get-out-of-jail-free card. Fun! * * * Ho-Ho-Ho, y'all! This time – slightly belatedly – we take a look at the 2015 Christmas Special, The Husbands of River Song. This second Christmas Special with Peter Capaldi sees The Twelfth Doctor (re)unite with his future/past wife, River Song, as they race across space and time with the head of her prior/later husband, King Hydroflax, and the priceless diamond inside it. Have a listen as we debate such points as: • Where and When does this fit into the chronology of River Song? • How many references to Classic and New Who did we spot? • How did River and Hydroflax have 'many nights of passion' when he's just a talking head? • And was this the 'thrill ride across the galaxy' that we were promised? And much, much more... Oh, and check out the screenshot of River holding up a Fez in this episode at WhoBackWhen.com! Because Fezes are cool. * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
