As you’ve likely heard by now, we have two comedians starring in this year’s Christmas special, The Husbands of River Song: Greg Davies and Matt Lucas.

You might know Davies from his appearances on panel shows like Would I Lie To You?, or from The Inbetweeners; while Lucas is best-known for Little Britain, narrated by the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker! And we’ve got the first photos from the special, due to air on Christmas Day.

Personally, I’m most excited about seeing Greg in Doctor Who, but frankly, you know what you’re going to get from both stars.

Lucas plays Nardole, while Davies is King Hydroflax, pictured above without his robotic body. In fact, the photo does bring to mind the Headless Monks, first mentioned in 2010’s The Time of Angels, but who later cropped up in A Good Man Goes To War (2011), chopping off Dorium Maldovar’s noggin – which the Doctor then picks up in The Wedding of River Song. “The Headless Monks behead you alive, remember.” Could a similar fate have befallen Hydroflax?

I guess we’ll find out in about three weeks’ time!
