2015 Christmas Special: The Husbands of River Song
Who NewThe Doctor encounters River Song again and this time she’s married…to someone else.
A man named Nardole tells The Doctor he’s needed to save someone’s life. Before finding out who, he meets River and believes she is joking when she doesn’t recognize him. She needs him to save the love of her life, her husband Hydroflax. He is the tyrant leader of billions of people and happens to have a diamond lodged in his head.
River’s in a quest to get the diamond even if it means taking Hydroflax’s head…literally. The Doctor slowly realizes that River doesn’t recognize him. Annoyed and a little hurt, he still joins River to retrieve the diamond. He wants to protect her and keep dropping hints that he is not just a doctor but The Doctor, HER Doctor.

TDP 1358: OCAS - PILOT REVIEW BIG FINISH ORIGINAL
Tin Dog PodcastGreed is a sickness. In the mid-21st century, the country has changed. Following a populist revolution, which brought down the entire system of government, society now aims to be more compassionate and equitable. Poverty is a distant memory, public services are properly funded, and separation between 'haves' and 'have-not' is a thing of the past. Those responsible for the corruption of the old world - people who abandoned moral principles in pursuit of wealth and power - have been diagnosed with a disorder: Obsessive Capital Accumulation Syndrome (OCAS). They have been removed from society to undergo treatment and rehabilitation, and without them, the nation has flourished. Making a documentary to commemorate the anniversary of May '33, Leo interviews those who were at the centre of events twenty years before. But as he scratches the surface of the new regime, he finds that the official history does not tell all. Britain may strive to be better for everyone - but utopia comes at a price. This release includes over ten minutes of behind-the-scenes interviews.
