Could These be The Husbands of River Song?

Even though we still have the finale to go, the biggest question, the question that must never be answered, hidden in plain sight, is just who are The Husbands of River Song?

Well perhaps going someway to either explaining/prolonging the agony are these newly released promo pictures of this year’s Christmas Special.

Giving us our first look at new characters and villains, including Flemming (blue guy played by Rowan Polonski), Ramone (Phillip Rhys wearing gloves) and that big red robot; could these new boys be the titular husbands? Yes, even the robot – because we’re nothing if not open minded.

Flemming certainly looks the part – could he be about to marry River just as the Doctor arrives on board “a starliner full of galactic super-villains,” as the synopsis reveals? Or is he just the bartender?

More importantly, what’s in the Doctor’s present? Our money, all 87p of it, is on it being the new Sonic – or perhaps the old Sonic; the one last seen in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. Whatever happened to that?

If it is then it’ll give some Doctor Who fans the greatest gift of all this Christmas, the end of the Sonic Shades!

Merry Christmas everybody!

The Husbands of River Song also sees Doctor Who return to it’s traditional tea time slot airing on BBC One Christmas Day at 17:15.
