The moment you realize that the Doctor wasn't just being cute waving the sonic screwdriver at River. He was scanning her pattern...so he could save her...when she goes to The Library. #AhTheFeels
"Why would I do that?!?! .... Ohhhh I am VERY GOOD!" - Ten in the library. So many feels!!!
😀
If it was Matt Smith or David Tennant, that moment they both gaze into each others eyes, you could tell would be a kissing scene but Alex Kingston refused to do any kissing scenes with Peter, cause she said 'it'll be like kissing my dad', but the scanning bit, we all know, that the Doctor know it was they're last moment together, so he scanned her consciousness into the sonic's data bank, saving her in the library digitally
That's pretty funny. Alex is only 5 years younger than Peter but is 8 years older than David and almost 20 years older than Matt.
I'd happily kiss Peter Capaldi for free, much less get paid for doing it. But then my husband is 17 years older than I. I'd happily snog David or Matt as well though. 😘
@@SuperMartinCC isn’t he only 5 years older than her?
This episode gave us the most tender "Hello Sweetie," the saddest "Spoilers," and the most joyous "I hate you" "No you don't."
Also - "You took me to Darillium to see the Singing Towers." Ummm, he could have just brought her outside to see the towers when they crashed. Instead, he had a high-class restaurant built with a view to make sure that last night would be as magnificent as possible for her, and now I'm crying. He's saying goodbye to her, but doing it on his terms, complete with a 24-year night. Love these two so much!!
This is why my standards are high for men lol. Would they build a whole fancy restaurant for me? lol
@@FlagCutieAre you worth it like river song?
River’s rant about loving the Doctor, followed up by his quiet little “Hello Sweetie” damn near broke my heart.
I cried. Not ashamed that I got sniffly and cried off and on through the entire program.
Me too sweetie 😘 💕
@@jamesmayle3787 Wtf? Why are you responding to this with religious recruitment?
Capaldi 🫣 staring at her during that scene was so sexy ❤ I want a Scottish man like him lol😊😊😊
Its still one of my favorite scenes of all time. I just got done re-watching that part 15 times. I know its just a TV Show and they're just actors but I get choked up every time I watch that scene.
"he's never noticed before..."
Capaldi has a perfect reaction to that. Surprise, not-surprised, touch of betrayal, curiosity, stubborn intent to sort that out at his next opportunity. Capaldi was so expressive with just his face during his interactions with River, all of them.
The look on his face when he finds out River fully believes he doesn't love her, just beautiful. Confusion and hurt and guilt all in one look.
Or as we say, “this bitch”
Lmao the doctor pretending it’s his first time seeing the inside of the tardis got me, as well as that “finally!”
You have to admit this ending and the "24 years" was the PERFECT ending to the doctor-river cycle of time.
I always believed this was the incarnation of him she knew the best even though she didn't recognize him at first...and the ending proved me right.
24 years together (it never says they spent it entirely together, but I think they did).
The extra sweet thing? They are there on Christmas Day, Which means on that planet specifically It is 24 years of Christmas.
@@austinarnold4460 Which means everything is closed as it's night and you can't get anything .. they all starve in a week.
@@walterengler5709 She'll be begging to go to the library by then
And the reveal recontextualizes River's death scene, because 10 would immediately know from the choice of location that he was going to find loopholes to stretch things out as long as possible. Hence why he realized the sonic screwdriver was also a loophole.
The Doctor's face says "He's never loved me" always kills me. You can see him considering the failure he's made making River realize how loved she is.
2:29 “Nardole, what have you brought to my doorstep”
“I’ve had a haircut, this is my best suit”
River, dying in the library: “I remember the last time I saw you -the real you- you turned up on my doorstep with a haircut and a new suit…”
The little details like that make Steven Moffat my favorite writer.
The Husbands of River Song is my favourite Dr. Who Christmas episode. River's journey coming full circle, the beautiful chemistry between Peter Capaldi and Alex Kingston, his "Hello Sweetie" moment with her, River's speech of her undying love for the Doctor, Peter/The Doctor getting the chance to fanboy in the Tardis ... everything is simply perfect. 🥰🙏
Don’t forget the sonic, the sonic that saves her life, the sonic he uses to save her in the library
@@cynthiablackthorn The entire episode was foreshadowed during her introduction, she specifically said all the things that happened during her final moments with the Doctor when he saw her for his first time.
Watching the Husbands of River Song back-to-back with the Silence in the Library is the best way to watch bost episodes.
@@jamesmayle3787 yeah that's fine and all, but how is it even remotely relevant to a Dr. Who TH-cam comments section
Peter’s “hello sweetie “ moment was perfect.
@@OriginalMomo Peter was the perfect of the 3 doctors that knew River to be the final Doctor to see her
You know what gets me everytime? The theme of Silence in the Library as soon as he gifts her the sonic screwdriver. This lovestory is one of a kind.
I did NOT catch that! SO nice
Aaa it is 😭😭😭
12 and River are an absolute dream! A shame we only got the one episode with them
I'm okay with this being their only episode, because it can't be topped. They got one shot, and they absolutely nailed it.
This was her last episode because she died, The diary filled up.
We got one episode, but they got 24yrs. And that means everything.
I wouldn’t mind a big fish tale or two with this duo. That was a long night on that planet.
@@Sk8rToon I'm hoping they had the table book for the entire night so they could come and go as they please. There's a lot of adventures the two of them could have had in that time. I hope Big Finish picks it up too.
Now the Doctor knows he didn’t absentmindedly lose the Tardis all those times.
“Two hearts, stupid clothes..”
“You are so doing those roots.”
"what, the roots of a sunset?"
I absolutely love that River's line of "Showed up with a new suit." in Silence in the Library was reinterpreted to mean a new face.
I think it was "a new haircut"? Or both?
Well it WAS a new suit. And a new haircut. And a new face. So technically everything River said was true, she just missed out the face part.
@@keennickolas8575 "The last time I saw you, the real you, the future you, I mean, you turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. What a night that was. The Towers sang, and you cried... You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the library. You even gave me your screwdriver. That should have been a clue." -River Song (Silence in the Library)
I think this Doctor is the perfect one for River, however I'm aware that this couldn't be possible without Matt's Doctor, his adventures with River ended up in this mature regeneration that is finally able to say goodbye to her. Eleven didn't want to give up, not on her or Gallifrey, but Twelve finally accepted that goodbyes are ok. I'm guessing that happened after he accepted that Clara was gone for good, even if he didn't know who she was.
Everything ends and that's always sad, but Everything begins again too and that's always happy
The Moment once said:
10: The Man who regrets.
11: The Man who forgets.
I'd like to think that 12 is the Man who accepts.
It’s sad we saw her die in the wrong order, but I guess that’s the charm.
@@anamorphosys85 and who's 13 then? The woman of mistakes?
Headcannon accepted.
The look in his eyes when she says “he’s never noticed before” 😆
And his look at her when he says “well maybe he’ll notice NOW”
It's nice to see Capaldi finally have his "bigger on the inside" moment.
I could not stop smiling through it all. The inside joke that was this whole episode. Then when she finally realizes who he is; is hilarious cause of all the things she told him that she does behind his back.
Definitely one of the better episodes 12 is in. Sure they are all good in their own way but still.
“All anyone will ever tell you is that when the wind stands fair and the night is perfect, when you least expect it but always when you need it the most there is a song.” why do I love this line so much?
I know how you feel. At least part of it is, for me, that I feel that he's referring to her as well as the towers. She is, after all, River SONG. And for him, she is there when he least expects her, but always when he needs her the most. That's my take on it, anyway.
@@travelservices1200 always…minus Demon’s run but that’s was just a timey-wimey thing.
It's interesting because, if I'm reading it right - River is equating the tower's to the Doctor too. "You can't expect a monolith to love you back" is an explicit comparison there so the towers could also refer to him. Which, if true, adds another layer. The Doctor is there, no-one knows why and how he has come to help, and by his side, not always but as a perfect compliment to his eternity, is a Song
@@TheOriginalEwan technically she was which was why she couldn't come. Melody Pond and River Song couldn't be in the same place at the same time.
For all his cringe and yikes and faults, Moffat was always amazing at holding a dozen threads together in one line of clever dialogue. He did it very often during his run but this is the most beautiful example by far, and Capaldi's delivery is perfect. It's absolutely wonderful.
the moment he "scans" her and the "24 years" bomb are my favorite moments from this special! it just brings everything together and actually gives them time together before River goes to The Library... i always get emotional when there's a River story but this was the perfect bookend to her story. Curse you, Moffat! you made me feel! lol
И мой тоже любимый момент🔥
I hope Moffat fixes the cluster-fuck that Chris Chibnall, did with the "Timeless Child plotline".
@@DarkArtsMage Not Moffat. R. T. Davies
@@AvatarLevap My apologies...could either or both of them "Fix that Cluster-Fuck".
@@AvatarLevap actually moffat wrote silence in the library
“Do you remember that time that there were two of you?” I just realized what that was referencing. Good line
What is it referencing?
@@duderyandude9515 The Doctor Who Minisode - Date Night. They did these min episodes on the BBC website during Matt's run. Heres the YT link.
th-cam.com/video/l5e6UU_YUCE/w-d-xo.html
@@Cyberbyte_010 Oh, yeah. Thanks. I was thinking about the main episodes and forgot about the minisodes.
I deadass thought they'd just forgotten that and it was a plothole. ngl this is a good way to make that work, especially given how pained he looks when his other self mentions this being their last time
Wasn't it referencing the throw away line she said to Rory about there being two doctors on her birthday?
River finally meets HER Doctor
Very true. It’s like she was waiting for the husband she always wanted.
And they spend 24 years together
“Carol singers will be criticised” is so funny. Fitting for Capaldi’s Doctor for sure
"When you least expect it, but always when you need it the most...
There is a Song."
The smile the doctor had at seeing River flustered is so charming and adorable!
That grin gets me every time.
One line i think people miss in this that hits hard when you go back and watch the Library is when River says "You save the day" and Doctor responds "Not always."
He knew though. He knew he would. And he couldn't tell her. "Everybody dies. But once in a while..."
"When the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call... everybody lives."
“Hush, mommy & daddy are busy”. I absolutely love that line!
The second the doctor explains they will live a lifetime together, i absolutely disintegrate
The little blink paired with the whispered “hello sweetie” always sends me into a fit of giggles, gets be every time love it
I always took it as him telling her how wrong she was, when she said he doesn't love her. It's always so sweet.
Best. "Hello, Sweetie." Ever.
That entire episode is the Doctor thinking, “what the f*? I’m literally throwing clues at her!”
His speech about the towers! River thinks he's changing the subject and avoiding the hard topic. Then "There is a song".
Moffat, you brilliant man!
And yes, the chemistry between these two is off the charts. 🥰
when the Doctor pretends to see the TARDIS's inside for the first time, how hard do you reckon the TARDIS was laughing her ass off?
or maybe just a big facepalm. anyway you can just see her grinning
Makes her saying to 10th of how he knew a lot more powerful
the fact that this episode is the end of the circle that goes back to the library makes me so sad. this really is a bittersweet episode for me.
Peter's Doctor is so adorable!
N: "Are you the surgeon?"
D: "Close enough, Why?!" 😆
My favorite line is "I know because I'm a archaeologist from the Future, I dug you up! See you in 400 years."
She clapped him So Hard with that.
I love this story line, this time loop love story and this is the perfect conclusion. The story of River and the Doctor was always one of two people meeting at the wrong times. One of them was always too young or too immature for the other. Until this episode, when finally both River and the Doctor were mature enough to accept that things had to end, but they could be together until things did. They finally met at just the right time.
“He must be very cross he lost his head” I love Capaldi
It’s so hilarious seeing bits of 11th and 10 in this performance when he’s with River.
Oh River. My favourite companion. Who would have thought that in her first appearance, her title song would reflect so much of her. "The Greatest Story Never Told" it truly was that on her debut!
As soon as he says Hello Sweetie my heart just dropped. The sonic we see in Library; River mentioning the haircut and suit; his line to her about that was perfect. Best Christmas episode yet....imho.
I love the ending and how it gives them a happy ending though if you think about and moffat had said one evening rather than 24 years it would literally be one of the best departures ever
Same I'm glad they gave her that happy ending!
It was every well done
It was one night on the planet. Planets move differently. It was a cheat, but I appreciate the stuck to the letter, while still giving us some peace with her story.
You can tell that Peter was the only Doctor actor who had been married when filming River Song episodes. David's a lover, Matt's a boyfriend, but Peter brings pure married-for-decades husband energy. His chemistry with Alex is unmatched.
You know despite him being the most pessimistic doctor he acknowledges the possibility of failure and he isn't some Op hero.
This was a magnificent conclusion to River's part in the series 😊
The best Christmas episode. And one of the best episodes overall.
That was a tiny little easter egg after all these years, the little nose tap "don't tell dad" was great.
Could you explain it?
Don't know how many times I've watched this episode but it always hits me hard every time.
Somebody's cutting onions...
@@vladtheimpala457 those damn onion ninjas cutting onions behind our backs.
Wasn't expecting this highlight video being over 20 minutes long! Nice!
Its that good 😂
5:30
"Finallly." With the little smile always makes me smile!!
Havent seen a comment mention this...
But, notice how when doctor shows the sonic screwdriver he demonstrates how it works by 'shining' it at her face
He is scanning her mind. So it gets uploaded to the library when she dies.
It has been scanning her mind all the time she's held onto the screwdriver that was given to her.
Not gonna lie during this episode it was the 1st moment that I realized that even though she thought the doctir never loved her he really did love her in his own way and when capaldi heard her say what she said you could see the sadness and the confusion on his face that she never felt that he did.
Absolutely genius how it was brought full circle so spectacularly. To have started this journey at the Library, with what im assuming is very little clue of how it would pan out
“When the wind stands fair and the night is perfect, when you least expect it, but always when you need it the most…
There is a song.”
Double meaning. The Doctor telling River she was always there when he needed her most!
It’s one of the best and saddest episode because everyone knows what happens after this dinner…. Two seasons ago
It is a shame this was the last episode with river before she sacrificed her self in the library
And the 24 years bit had me in tears
Then you go back and watch the Library episodes with a whole new type of hurt inside. I almost couldn't bare it. The fullest circle ever.
I love the reference to the mini episode with matt smith
My absolute favorite episode with the exception of the build up to “when a good man goes to war”. These two for me are the best doctor and river combination. I wanted more time with them.
I like how, doctor the moment he meets river
says, i've got a haircut, this is my new suit
thats why river told tenant in the library, that he came to her doorstep with a haircut and a new suit
i know its obvious to everyone
but still i reallly like this bit, how after soooo longgg soo many years and soo many stories they brought it back to full circle
River, Rose, and Sarah Jane... The true loves of The Doctor
The 10th: first time meeting River and the Last time River saw her husband.
The 11th: 2nd time meeting her and discovering her origins. River's 1st time meeting the doctor.
The 12th: Last time meeting with his wife, River's 2nd time meeting the doctor
“You’ll do that smug little smile and you’ll save the day” proceeding with sed smug grin when he’s about to drop the 24 year line, good stuff that is.
I’ve seen very little of this show in general but I still think River is one of my favorite bits of the things I’ve seen.
Back when Who was good with a great lead and a competent writer
Only a matter of time until it gets cancelled again due to bad ratings. Great job Chibnall
@@Noanator ah don’t worry RTD is back
The 12 Doctor's TARDIS is really the definitive new series interior :). Miss it.
It's not often a TV show will make me cry, but this episode does it to me every time. 🥰
No if one night on darillium is 24 years so I admire the will power of the people who were waiting for 4 years and didn’t have a Tardis
How old is that receptionist then?! 😶
I love his exaggerated TARDIS reaction speech
I have to see this more than once each time I come back to it so I can watch both the Doctor's and River's expressions.
Moffatt the best writer ever! I cry every time I watch this as much as the first. The Christmas episodes were always special
Best on screen relationship, change my mind
1:11 oh, I just realized what happened there. The TARDIS knew what was going to happen.
When Davies makes the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who, They need to bring back River Song!
he will bring Dr Karen
I needed to see more if River and Donna together. We know Catherine Tate is coming back, soooo...
Nah this was the perfect ending to her story, the one we were told she’d have in her first episode. Also she was a Moffat character. Hopefully Russell brings a ton of other people back though.
I agree! It would work with her recognizing 10, too!
Now THIS is a Dr Who Christmas special
"When you least expect it. But always when you need it he most. There is a Song." Took me until now to realize, he meant river with that.... im not crying....
I loved this Xmas special. Husbands of River Song and Twice Upon a Time were the last good Xmas specials of Doctor Who. I miss River Song. Unlikely we'll see her again.
Husbands was the last Xmas special period.
@@fmlazar To me and as far as I am concerned. Husbands of River Song and Twice Upon A Time were the last good episodes and last good Xmas specials of Doctor Who. I am glad Alex Kingston got to come back once more as River Song. I really thought "Name of the Doctor" was the last ever time we would ever see River Song. I hope Alex Kingston will be apart of the 60th anniversary.
Twice upon a time was dreadful, sorry.@@danielwilliamson6180
12 and River are such a great pairing. One outing together, and it's near-perfect. I felt similarly when reading Lance Parkin's The Dying Days. 8 and Benny are wonderful together, and only have the one story (at least until Benny's Story in The Company of Friends). Leaves you wanting more, certainly!
By far the best Christmas special of the revival series. Peter and Alex had amazing on-screen chemistry, and with him being 5 years older than her, she didn't come off like a cougar like she did with Matt Smith.
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this, and it hits me in the emotions every single time. 😭😭😭
"When the wind stands fair, and the night is perfect... when you least expect it... But always... when you need it the most...
...There is a Song."
I love this scene. I think the thing I love the most about it is it begins as him just describing the towers and the mystery behind them, and subtly turns into him describing _her._ The Song that's always there when he needs her the most. And he does this directly after she says "you can't expect a monolith to love you back." in reference to him, only for him to subtly compare _her_ to the Towers. He thinks she's just as much a monolith as he is.
Its just so hard sometimes to believe in love and the twist at the end hit my heart so hard, when I truly wished their night together could last forever and to have the final twist shown that Love endures, its just so heartbreaking to me because I know as I'll never have enough time to give my love to someone who'd ever love me that much.
I'll admit I cried at this. Superb actors, superb writing.
And this (perfect) episode is why the Christmas episodes are so special. Not at new year! Hoping RTD brings back the tradition. You could just feel the Whovians together around the world watching with their families.
Can we just talk about the fact that the 12th Doctor basically condemned River to death... Worst DATE EVER (im kidding I love this episode and get how everything has to come to an end)
Fixed point. The worst enemy of all.
#Twiver I think Peter had the truest chemistry with Alex Kingston's River Song! Such a shame they only had 1 adventure! I absolutely enjoyed this Christmas gem!
Aaah the best Christmas episode :)
Well people generally need a flow chart... Followed not much later by "i think I'm going to need a bigger for chart" when taking about his own relationship with River finally hit me. Upon hearing that he's supposed to help her with her doing husband he's come to the conclusion that their relationship is about to get/has always been many times more complicated than either of them knew.
Please BBC, get Alex Kingston and Steven Moffat back for a River Song TV show. A show about a time travelling archaeologist would be amazing, and Alex is an amazing actress, she could more than carry her own show, it would be boundless.
listen to the River Song Big Finish audios. They are really good. My favourite is the River/Missy team up. Then check out the Missy box sets, they are just as great
I love this episode sooo much! I literally get teary eyed every time. “Hello Sweetie” 🥰🥰🥰
river watching the doctor talking about the tardis only to later found out he was the doctor. and she didnt even have time to be like "wait... he was acting?"
It's one of my favorites episodes of Doctor Who. I love those two characters so much ❤️
I miss River. I want her to come back.
Whovians honestly deserve a 4-episode special of Doctor and River's married life in Delirium. I know Capaldi said he won't come back, but can we please have this just once? I personally think River and Susan are related...
"Finally. It's my go." ❣️
A perfect farewell to the character (on TV at least).
My favorite Christmas episode and one of fav episodes in general!
Finally and hello sweetie, best moments of this
“Will there be singing?” This is the only thing that makes him hesitant.
I watch this so many MANY times. Ive miss the doctor and his/her wife :[
The love we all have for the Dr. and River Song makes all us fans of the Dr.'s stories.
I am truly in love with River Song.
So I'm I!!!@@mollycblaeser
A beautiful ending, if they ever want to bring river back, the only senario i would accept is if in the 60th anniversary, she and 12 pop up during there 24 years on delirium. would love to see her with 9 through 14.
If they do that they need to have one of The Doctors on screen at the time say
"When the wind stands firm and the night is perfect, when you least expect it but, always when you need it the most, there is a song."
And then she pops out of the TARDIS and starts shooting while 12 grabs the other Doctors.
