What Doctor Who: The Husbands of River Song Is About

A note first: this is not a film but the 2015 Doctor Who Christmas special. On a remote human colony the Doctor is avoiding carols when a crashed ship sweeps him into River Song's crew, with one problem: River does not recognise this face and has no idea who she is working with. What follows is a fast, funny chase across the galaxy after a diamond lodged in King Hydroflax's head. The last ten minutes are something else entirely: the night on Darillium, and the close of River's story.
