With all the attention on Clara’s departure, when and what form Series 10 will take, all this talk of ‘Hybrids’ and just what’s going to happen with the Zygons; you might have forgotten about the small matter of the Christmas Special.
So what do we know so far? Well, Alex Kingston is set to once again return as Professor River Song, in what’s promised to be an episode filled with ‘humour’ and ‘surprise guest castings’ by the actress herself; with the mystery of just how River can return to the show, being that the last time we saw her, she was a ghost, set to be front and centre of the yuletide fun.
Speaking to The Observer, Steven Moffat sounded decidedly pleased with the pairing:
“That’s been a riot to do. That’s been sort of a big fun chase episode, really. Just Mr and Mrs Who battling their way past nonsense and that’s been great fun. Alex [Kingston] is always great value. It’s time we saw her back being a kick ass hero instead of playing mums and sisters and all that. It’s a waste of her.”
Whether or not they’ll be any hangover from the departure of Clara; the episode sounds like a romp – although, now with her story apparently told and the timeline effectively caught up, it makes you wonder just how River will fit into events – and who will have the upper hand in their marriage.
