Lovely looking cover and obviously more to come.

Am I the only one who preferred the original cover?
It just seemed more personal and intimate like a diary is supposed to be (if that makes sense).

I'll, admit, I was surprised to see McGann take centre stage… Yeah, that's a bit odd.

Yes the "holding image" was a very effective one and I am sure that they will use it for the range going forward. This cover is very in keeping with the look of the other NuWho releases. Although as others have said having the Eighth Doctor centre stage is a little misleading...

It's really kind of an odd thing seeing the 8th Doctor sharing the cover with River Song. The lines between the eras really has been erased. There is only Doctor Who. And who knows, perhaps the 8th Doctor has much more of a role in this box set then we are being lead to believe.

I hope not. I'd like River to find her own feet as a range. It would rankle a bit if The Doctor overshadowed her.

Of all the current series characters getting a range, this is the one I'm most curious about. River Song is a character where, for me at least, a little goes a long way. I don't know if that is in the character's DNA or if it is a product of the way Steven Moffat tends to write his strong female characters. I suppose the question I keep asking is in a universe where we have Benny running around, do we really need River Song? But then I ask the same question about Counter Measures, UNIT and Torchwood.

I'm not a big River fan but I agree she should have her own range almost completely void of The Doctor. Unless of course 11 gets involved.

I'd like to see a series with river and ten. She must have had other adventures with him as she was surprised when he didn't recognise her.

He definitely needs to have a few adventures with her after Donna left & before his regeneration into 11. It feels like he's encountered her at least twice when 11 says to amy we keep meeting in the wrong order

River and War could be interesting.

At peril* of getting sucked into other Who-related BF releases, I pre-ordered it.
I don't know if I'd want them to end up being entirely Doctor-free; it'd be interesting to have her bounce around between 8, 10, 11...presuming they ever get on board.
*(The peril being that posed to my wallet)

Yes, I hope they come up with a good device for ten not recognising her so they can open the floodgates

Well, I was thinking that the advantage especially with 10 and 11 is that they could interact with her. As someone else stated, she was surprised that 10 didn't recognize her despite saying it was the youngest she'd seen him......leaving room for audio w/ 10. The other Doctors couldn't interact with her directly in any meaningful way without a memory wipe trope. Which isn't out of the question, but could easily become overused.

Tenth Doctor in every episode of a future box set would be nice.

What you're forgetting is the classic series Doctors would have been ages ago for 10 and 11, so it's likely they would forget certain events anyway.

11 forgot all about the Great Intelligence, after all.
