The BBC have locked down their Christmas TV schedules today and the premiere time for The Husbands of River Song has been confirmed.

As expected, Doctor Who takes a prime spot in BBC One’s Christmas Day schedule, although it’s on a lot earlier than last year.

The special begins at 5.15pm this year and will run for 60-minutes.

UPDATE: The Doctor meets Sprout Boy in BBC’s Christmas promo:
