CukMet Kasım 22, 2021

Hello sweeties! Just announced by the BBC, Professor River Song (Alex Kingston) will be reuniting with her husband, the Doctor, for a festive adventure this Christmas! It will be the first time that she encounters the twelfth incarnation of her beloved, as played by Peter Capaldi. Will it be the last? Time will tell.

Award winning Alex Kingston comments on her reappearance, “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!”

The episode is written by Steven Moffat, and begins filming this week.

Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, adds, “Another Christmas, another special for Doctor Who - and what could be more special than the return of Alex Kingston as Professor River Song? The last time the Doctor saw her she was a ghost. The first time he met her, she died. So how can he be seeing her again? As ever, with the most complicated relationship in the universe, it’s a matter of time...”

Doctor Who returns Saturday, September 19 for a 12 episode run, and the Christmas special will air on Friday, December 25.
