When the 2015 Doctor Who Christmas Special airs on Christmas Day we will truly be in festive season, and now we have something else to look forward to in the special!
The BBC have officially announced that Alex Kingston will be reprising her role of River Song for this year’s Christmas Special. This will bring River’s total number of appearances to 16 episodes. Kingston had the following to say on the news:
“To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special. Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humour and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday’s read through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September? Why not!”
A description of the special reads:
“It’s Christmas Day in the future and the TARDIS is parked on a snowy village street, covered in icicles, awaiting its next adventure. Time traveller River Song meets her husband’s new incarnation, in the form of Peter Capaldi, for the first time this Christmas.”
The first episode of Doctor Who Series 9 airs on September 19th.
Thoughts on this announcement? Are you excited for River Song to meet Peter Capaldi’s Doctor?
