I love the glasses, but I wouldn't want them to be a permanent replacement for the screwdriver.

I was quite pleased with the past season for the lack of a sonic screwdriver - it was nice to see something different for once, even if it did perform a lot of the same functions - so I'm not too sure how I feel about the screwdriver coming back. Mostly, I just want to see a decrease in its usage - maybe have it appear every two episodes or so?
Anyways, I'm a little disappointed with the synopsis of the special, mostly because I was sincerely hoping that, with a title like "The Husbands of River Song," we'd get some sort of a Scott Pilgrim story where the Doctor has to defeat River's evil ex-husbands or something. Still, I'm always excited for more adventures with River Song!

That would be too early for a normal ep but on Christmas Day when everyone is at home and the country shuts down, its a good slot.

Capaldi looks fantastically cool in shades, but Sonic Shades? Have you seen what the Sonic Screwdriver is capable of? You don't make sunglasses out of something like that, it's a wonder The Doctor's eyeballs don't shoot right out of their sockets when he fires up the shades... (Right before the Daleks begin mass production of Sonic Shades, I presume). :-)

Maybe the Daleks can mass produce sonic shade with only one lens to exterminate the Minion population. The Daleks spare us from repeated utterances of the word banana!

Won't watch it till later on so the time slot don't bother me but my spider sense is just saying to me that this particular Christmas special will be poor, the title & that silly looking power ranger robot, I'll be the first to admit it if I'm wrong.

I've seen it and it's a brilliant and uplifting romp. Perfectly pitched and will be a brilliant complement to any xmas day

I would love to see the sonic accessories ditched for a while. Like others I feel that they have become overused - the Doctor should be able to resolve situations without the sonic get out of trouble free card.

There are always deadlock seals and other technobabble so that he can't use it for everything. There were a lot of problems with Doctor Who in the 80s, but getting rid of the sonic may have been the biggest problem.
