Doctor Who Magazine - Issue 494

Panini have issued the cover and details of the latest edition of Doctor Who magazine:

THE BUMPER 100-PAGE FESTIVE EDITION OF DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE IS OUT NOW!
Doctor Who magazine takes a look forward to this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special - The Husbands of River Song - and also features an exclusive interview with the Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi…

We asked Peter how is the Doctor going to cope with meeting River Song again?

"There’s a very different dynamic," Peter replies. "As you’ll see, she doesn’t know it’s him at first. She can’t be convinced that it is, so she’s sort of not interested in him! He gets a taste of his own medicine, from her. She treats him very coldly, and flirts with a lot of other people in front of him. He doesn’t get any flirting, which I think upsets him. Eventually - finally! - she recognises him. But then another element comes into play and… well, you’ll have to wait and see. But it’s fun…"
