It’s Christmas Day on a remote human colony and the Doctor is hiding from Christmas Carols and Comedy Antlers. But when a crashed spaceship calls upon the Doctor for help, he finds himself recruited into River Song’s squad and hurled into a fast and frantic chase across the galaxy. King Hydroflax is furious, and his giant Robot bodyguard is out-of-control and coming for them all! Will Nardole survive? And when will River Song work out who the Doctor is? All will be revealed on a starliner full of galactic super-villains and a destination the Doctor has been avoiding for a very long time.

Doctor Who: The Husbands of River Song
“When you love the Doctor, it's like loving the stars themselves. You don't expect a sunset to admire you back” wrap it up.

River Song the yearner forever. Possibly my favourite episode of all time solely due to her writing here. I’ve never seen someone mourn so rawly a man she hasn’t met yet.

Also, greg davies ? hello to you too?

Doctor Who: The Husbands of River Song
River Song, my profile picture and spirit animal. This special is more so a sweet, if not slightly depressing ending to River's character than other life-changing life-altering Doctor Who episodes, but I don't think I've been locked on an episode more. Clever, hilarious, and frankly adorable, The Husbands of River Song is my favorite Christmas special and one of my favorite episodes from 12s era.

Doctor Who: The Husbands of River Song
Үздік спэшл, бірақ мына баға тек осы бөлімге ғана емес, бүкіл Ривер Соңның аркасына қойғаным. Мен көрген ең ғажап ТВ сюжеттердің бірі.


Сосын Heaven Sent аркасына да айтайын дегенім, бұл да бір 407 Proxy Authentication Required, The Magician Doesn’t Return, The Book of Nora секілді ең мықты, ерекше, жойқын эпизодтардың бірі болды
