Current listening: The Diary of River Song series 9

[vivdunstan]

More of my Big Finish backlog, now diving into this boxset, which teams up River Song with the 3rd Doctor, Liz Shaw and the Brigadier. I really enjoyed the 3rd Doctor audio I heard recently with Liz and the Brigadier, so happy to dive into this with the addition of River. It’s very tongue in cheek.

I'm not sure of this concept of River with Doctors before Ten. Ten did NOT know River at all in "Silence in the Library".

Big Finish are generally handling it with either mind wipes / forgetfulness, or the Doctor not learning River's name, especially if encountering her at a remote distance or over comms. There was a variant approach taken with the Fourth Doctor, which worked really well, and I won't go into for spoiler reasons. But was wonderful to hear.
