I think Megan is wrong: this Doctor has more chemistry with River. He's more mature, more relaxed, and honestly closer in age in real life. Not that Matt and River weren't cute and flirty, but I just see River with Peter's doctor as more like marriage of love and equality.
Agreed.
@@hothotheat3000 This is the Doctor that's finally able to accept loss, which means he's able to accept the love that leads to the loss.
I have to agree. Personally, I never felt there was any chemistry between River and the Eleventh Doctor. Capaldi works much better, if only because the actors are close enough in age for it not to feel a little uncomfortable (and I say that as someone who has a 12 year age gap in my own marriage). While Alex and Peter are about five years apart in age, Alex and Matt have a nearly 20 year gap and Matt's Doctor seems to act so much younger that it exacerbates that difference, regardless of the characters' ages 'in universe'.
I know that this opinion is not shared universally and that it may be shaped by the fact that the Eleventh Doctor is my least favourite of both New and Classic Who (another opinion I know to be controversial)..
@@MrPaulMorris I guess I'm glad to be a person who loves both and think both have chemistry haha. But to me it truly feels like one character, and the start is Tennant in the library. Not knowing who she is, but who she will be... the significance of that future and potential simply by her knowing his name. And it simply builds and builds and builds, and with every appearance you can feel the weight of their unseen adventures together on the doctor's face.
The story of River in it's entirety for me, is nothing but fantastic
You forgot to tell Meghan about the scene the doctor scanning river with the new screwdriver was him Saving her
My favorite Doctor and my favorite character ever. Love this episode !
Watching them in order like this is telling. River arguing that the Doctor can save her because he’s the Doctor and him saying he can’t hits different when you’ve just watched Hell Bent.
The Doctor can't save River because her death is entangled in his own personal past, and at this point he's learned from trying to save Clara that you can't really cheat death altogether.
it’s nice to see that even though he can’t remember her, clara’s departure taught the doctor that he has to accept endings, meaning he could spend his final night with river. twelve deserved a fun adventure like this after the tragic turn of S9, and it ties up river’s bittersweet story perfectly.
it’s a bit wacky, but it’s honestly one of my favourite christmas specials. twelve and river are perfect together.
i never noticed the intense Silence in the Library motif at the end there... very well done by Mr Gold
Megan - 'Time can be re-written' 'Not those times, not one line, don't you dare!' The Doctor + River.
I think we were all crying at that point.
This was River Song's final episode before she meets David Tennant's character in 'Silence in the Library'
This might be my favourite episode of this show, period. I adore Alex Kingston and I absolutely love the chemistry between her and Capaldi here.
Someone else also mentioned it, but when the Doctor is giving River her Sonic, he scans her with it and that was actually him "Saving" her into it. That was the moment he "Saved" her.
Also, Alex Kingston is the same age as the show, so however old the show was in whatever year a given episode is, that's how old she was as well. She's currently 57, but when they did this episode, which was in 2015, she was approximately 51 or 52, somewhere in that range.
I love her so much and I still dream about her possibly popping in again sometime. Apparently both Alex and Jodie Whittaker are totally down with the idea of them interracting, but it's not terribly likely to happen any time soon. I so wish it would though. I'd watch a whole show of just River's adventures, and I know there are the audio dramas, but I'd love to see a spin off show for her. I'd watch it, hands down!
That was the best "Hello, sweetie!' in the series!
had Chibnall not done Broadchurch, this would've been Moffat's final episode
explains why it's so damn good
I think you're getting this confused with The Doctor Falls?? 2 years later
@@farfromsensibletv Twice Upon A Time was very obviously Moffat's last, but he wasn't supposed to do that Christmas Special, or even Series 10, but did it because Chibnall needed to finish Broadchurch series 3
@@Arbrax I've only ever heard that twice upon a time was added to suit chibnall not wanting to start on a special though and the BBC axing doctor who specials if they didn't make one for that year so moffatt did? Also this is completely forgetting that return of doctor Mysterio was right after this and Class was in the works.
@@farfromsensibletv No like before The Return of Doctor Mysterio even happened, Steven Moffat thought Series 9 and this episode would be his last. But he decided to do Series 10 because Chibnall was still doing Broadchurch.
Very happy capaldi didnt have to deal with chibby
Speaking as someone in their late 50’s. That’s not OLD. At least not THAT old. 🤬😃
Am I the only one who likes the Return of Doctor Mysterio.
I like it. Fun adventure story. But I do like that genre too
It's quite well liked, just don't think anyone who likes it is that passionate about it.
I'm not into comic books, and I really liked it.
i really like it
"The last time I saw you -- the real you. The future you, I mean! -- you turned up on my doorstep with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Derillium to see the singing towers. What a night that was! The towers sang and you cried. You wouldn't tell me why, but you knew. Knew it was my time. Time to come to the library. You even gave me your screwdriver. That should have been a clue!" -- River Song
This is a wonderful story because it is an older Doctor who doesn’t have to hide who he is and can, openly and truly, *love* River.
No secrets now.
Just love.
Megan was more concerned with her nails than the episode lol
I love all episodes with River. She always takes us on an emotional rollercoaster.
Love the parallel with the wedding of river song,
'you would suffer, more than everything in the universe?'
'no one here is worth losing you'
I know I'm not quoting right lol, but like, it was my FIRST thought seeing that scene. Made me gasp. The change is so clear, just how much he's changed and how much he's grown to love her.
"But always. when you need it the most... there is a Song" ;^;
Easily the best TV Christmas special for me. Would be cool to see some 12/River adventures during those 24 years cos they definitely would've had some adventures in that time.
Beautiful episode with a great ending 😀😀 Do treat Megan to one of the meant RUclips compilations of River's timeline in the correct order, she deserves it now 👍🏼👍🏼
been looking forward to this one for yeeearrs :D love this episode
This is the episode that finally sold me on Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.
My favourite Christmas Special, I'm looking forward to this reaction! :-)
Alex Kingston was actually 52 when this was filmed, not late forties! I can’t rank all of them but this is definitely my favourite christmas special, and one of my favourite episodes.
Right after watching this episode for first time, I immediately watching Forest of the Dead, when River mention her meeting with Twelve, which I kinda regret it because I cried. A lot. 😅
Also, I love that there's some part of "A Sad Man in the Box" (11th theme) playing in "Darilium" theme
I thought they had natural chemistry immediately.
Great reaction to my favorite Christmas episode loved it!!
Oh, at last 😄
Ahaha I am like her I hope for river first every season too
27:15 Megan makes the same face as a child would when told to eat all of her broccoli before she gets to eat dessert - and then goes full turtle at the prospect of another Christmas special.
So there's a reference in here that Capaldi reminds her of her second wife. We know they both married Cleopatra, but what if her second wife were.... JODIE. I think it could work and I just want to see Alex and Jodie play off each other because it'd be just damned precious and awesome.
13 is totally the second wife
Sadly I only see that working if see doesn’t learn Jodie is the Doctor that’s even if she appears in season 13
@@DragonsDungeon i think jodie would introduce herself under an alias
19:00 pretty sure the music here is straight from the 10th doctors era if not straight up pulled from SitL/FotD
Yeah, the reuse the same tracks, it’s a nice touch
River/ doctor do make a great couples I'd love to see their children and grandchildren later on future tv series if river return to show?
When you spend more time focused on your nails than the episode, you know Megan didn't enjoy it. Also I've been intrigued for months when Megan says she's too busy to watch TV at christmas, what does she do when the majority of us are just over eating and watching copious amounts of tv.
and so ends one of the greatest love stories in fiction.
at least i think so.
Steven Moffat is firing on all his romantic/farcical comedic cylinders on this one. The plot is all over the place, but that's par for the course for a fun Christmas episode!
Alex Kingston was 52 when this episode was filmed.
My favourite xmas episodes youve seen.
11. Doctor widow wardrobe
10. Christmas invasion
9. Runaway Bride
8. End of Time
7. Next Doctor
6. Time of the Doctor
5. Voyage of the damned
4. The snowmen
3. The christmas carol
2. The last christmas
1. Husbands of river song
You saw her first with David Tennant when she first saw the doctor
There is a really good xmas special still to come. "Twice Upon a Time" is awesome
I'll not drop a hint, but I think you'll like the next episode, Megan. It's quite enjoyable; and you're lucky you don't have to wait a year to see it!
I mean, sometimes... This franchise... !!! So frustrating to wait so long for the next new episode!
The people who can open their heads, any relations to the next episode?
Watch Doctor Who: River Song's death - 2015 version (HD) by Lyndon Coleman. It's the scene from Forest of the Dead with flashbacks/ flash forwards added in
Me: in order to lower and raise the shields quickly where foregoing the tractor beam and flying her in manually. Captain Jack: you've done this before right? Sulu: actually it's my first attempt lol
I loved Voyage of the Damned but I love this Christmas special as well.
She still has it she can still turn heads
He'll be a companion later
Aw, you cut it off before the mid title bit 😔
Christmas specials ranking? Okay:
1. The Snowmen
2. The Time of the Doctor
3. The Husbands of River Song
4. Christmas Carol
5. Twice upon a time
(the next few in not so strict order, but still somewhat ranked)
The Next Doctor
Voyage of the damned
Last Christmas
The end of time
The waters of Mars
The Christmas Invasion
The return of Dr. Misterio
The Doctor, the widow and the wardrobe
The Chimes of Midnight is in its own league above everything else, I assume.
@@lucasdolding6924 No idea. Never had access to the audio-books and stuff.
@@coladict I was mostly joking since Chimes is regarded as one of the best stories of all time (which it is imo). If you have Spotify you can listen to it.
Like Megan s hair seen this episode xx
Obviously the last 15/20 minutes are beautiful and emotional, and offer the perfect ending for River's time on the show, but I can't act like I don't enjoy the rest of the episode either. It's a big dumb Christmas pantomime, full of some great jokes, an over-the-top silly villain (played to hammy perfection by Greg Davies), and Peter Capaldi and Alex Kingston having an absolute blast through it all. I disagree with Megan's comments, I think the Twelfth Doctor has the best chemistry with River, largely because they feel like a mature married couple, in contrast to the more flirty relationship that she had with Eleven. It's a genuinely underrated episode, and one of my favourite Christmas specials. In terms of how I'd rank them:
1. A Christmas Carol
2. *The Husbands of River Song*
3. The Christmas Invasion
4. The Runaway Bride
5. Voyage of the Damned
6. The Snowmen
7. The Next Doctor
8. The Time of the Doctor
9. The End of Time Part 1
10. Last Christmas
11. The Doctor the Widow and the Wardrobe
Best to worst:
1. The End of Time (don’t forget this was a Christmas special).
2. Last Christmas.
3. The Christmas Invasion.
4. A Christmas Carol.
5. The Runaway Bride.
6. The Snowmen.
7. The Time of the Doctor.
8. The Husbands of River Song (sorry)
9. Voyage of the Damned.
10. The Next Doctor.
11. The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe.

Don't worry Megan, next Christmas episode is a good one imo! I'm not a big fan of many of the Christmas specials either. I think my best 5 are:
1. The time of the Doctor
2. The Snowmen
3. The Husbands of River Song
4. (one you haven't seen yet - spoilers lol)
5. The Return of Doctor Mysterio
I was very thankful when Chibnall stopped with the Christmas special (I can credit him with the odd good decision:)) as I just never felt they were a good mix with the show and it was getting rather tired. I liked The Snowmen best for stylistic reasons, it's a great looking episode. I do think that the next one is one of the better ones as it doesn't feel especially Christmasy to me.
Yay glad to see you two back, even if it is for a so-so episode!👍
Complaining of another Christmas Special? At least she didn't have to wait a full year to see it.
If only this were the final episode, it would definitely be my favourite show. Alas, S10 is below average Moffat, and the Chibnall era is best forgotten.
Best Xmas specials are Husbands and Last Christmas top, Christmas Carol next, all the rest far, far below.
Series 10 is my favourite after series 4! Some excellent, underrated stories!!
Keep examining your nails, you ain’t missing anything.
crap it has the rubbish Doctor in it
Piss off
@@gummyjellyfrog you're adorable
@@gummyjellyfrog I'm sorry. You're completely right to tell me to piss off. After giving in and giving Peter Capaldi a true chance as the doctor, and watching his entire run. I have to say I like his portrayal now. I Now understand why he played the character so differently from the previous three doctors. So thanks for the slap in the face , I needed it.
