Doctor Who Review: The Husbands Of River Song – 5 Reasons To Love This Christmas Gift

5. Chemistry

The connection between Capaldi and Kingston is a sight to behold. They circle each other like gladiators in a ring one moment and as the leads in a screwball comedy the next. It€™s a different kind of spark than with Matt Smith or David Tennant. This is a more mature relationship where each side has their own share of baggage. This is a couple who have been through the wars and despite that or maybe even because of it decided that their love for each other is still important enough to hold on to. Capaldi€™s Doctor does not need words to make his feelings known. His face is hurt, jealous, exasperated and tender all in turn. He rarely takes his eyes off his wife and the moment she realizes who is standing by her side is a beautiful one. €œHello Sweetie€ never sounded so poignant.
