I wonder if the new sonic screwdriver will do wood like in the Library episodes?

The robot, in the picture (DS front page), is a rip off of Marvel's Hulk Buster:

It's actually from the Sarah Jane Adventures unless I'm mistaken.

Sounds like an 'adult' movie from the 70s.

I haven't read it, they should have waited until the finale to reveal the title.

I suspect it will have something to do with River getting herself into a scrape where she ends up being claimed as a "wife" by Greg Davies and Matt Lucas's characters. I doubt it will be marriage in the conventional sense.

In the synopsis, The Doctor finds himself recruited into River Song’s squad - could this squad be made up of her 'husbands', i.e. other incarnations of The Doctor? Paul McGann, John Hurt (although he's probably been too ill recently) and the rumoured future Doctor?

Yes because The Avengers Age of Ultron invented oversized red robots last year prior to which no such thing had existed in popular culture. A bit like when JK Rowling invented mystical looking old streets.

Fetch me an eye roll smiley!

But has JK Rowling ever had an original thought in her entire life?

If you're going down that road, no thoughts ever truly original

It's the same robot as in Dinosaurs On A Spaceship isn't it? New paint job, but from memory it's the same.

I thought that too but no. Similar proportions and the same design idea, but different detail.

Rubbish title for what sounds like an awful episode. Hope I'm wrong.

Cloned Cyber Raccoons from an alternate reality version of Mars invade Doncaster to steal all the Adele CDs there, only to be stopped by the Pirate Wolves in Wheelchairs.

And if anyone wants to make that into a movie for me, go for it.

Well no but its fair to point out when people keep making the same snidey comments about 'Diagon Alley' (which I'm sure we all heard about 1767 times that week) that theyre not sounding as clever as they think and are just showing that their depth of genre knowledge doesn't stretch back farther than a couple of years. Rowling is a total Magpie when it comes to the elements of her book. There is barely an original concept in Harry Potter. Not to say she isnt very shrewd though. She's like a great chef...creating something everyone likes from existing ingredients.

Already i've seen about ten people screaming 'BAYMAX' and 'Ironman' at the new DW poster when in fact it looks just as much like something from SJA or a re-fit of the robots from DOAS. Not to mention many other things made of metal and painted red from stories over the years.

It's going to stink. We all know it. Unfortunately most of Moffat's Christmas specials are among the worst things he's ever written.
