What would be your speculation for Series 8 of The Diary of River Song Alex Kingston did record at the studios in late December before the whole current situation
there is also the rumor:
{Spoiler} Karen Gillian was rumored to have apparently recording at a studio around January
but hard to say personally i hope we get to see more Doctor/Companion/Master meetings with River but whats your thoughts?

Hmm. First of all, I do not believe the more famous person coming along, at least not yet. I am also not sure BF would keep silent about that.
As the previous set has shown, River works well on her own, as well as with companions. I personally think R&J in the Jack set was one of the cleverest stories done by BF so far, so there is scope to explore more companions yet, even after so many sets already. I also got the impression that Alex got better with her audio work and you hear a real difference between the first set and now something like R&J.
Where are we going next? Well, we had River in Detective stories. Maybe we will have some ghost/ horror stories next? As for companions coming along.... Depends. We had some fantastic stories there, R&J, Companion Piece, Lies in Ruins (funnily enough, these were all NOT in River‘s native range) But we also had some duds- the meeting with UNIT for example did nothing for me. I would be happy having her explore on her own for a while if I am perfectly honest. As for meeting other Doctors- 2 and 3 are still missing and I can just imagine how much fun Frazer and Alex would be having together. That would be something I would be keen on. Also, would‘t It be time for River to meet the Warner Doctor? There have been no news on the latest Benny boxset and we know they were about to meet „the Others“. So that would be an interesting possibility. It would also give the chance for a rematch with Benny that would hopefully not be as bleak and gloomy as the last.
We will see. This reminds me, I am really looking forward to the announcement of the new Benny set anyways. The previous ones were fantastic and I absolutely love the Warner Doctor. I wonder when they will announce it. But possible it gets postponed this year because of all the stuff going on.

I'd love a set with River and her crew before The Library.

I love a bit of speculation!
Her first four sets with the various Doctors were one story told over four disks, where as her last three sets have just been a collection of stories with a linking theme.
So if they continue that trend series 8 should be a linking theme rather than one story in four parts. But what theme will they choose?
Perhaps River and the significant others of the Doctor?
A story each with...
Susan the Doctor’s Granddaughter During the Time War both women try to help. One tries to prevent the Eighth Doctor from going to Karn, whilst the other tries to keep the timeline true.
Jenny the Doctor’s Daughter Looking for her father she finds a step-mother she didn’t know she had
Missy the Doctor’s Best Fiend Forever I know we have already had this, but come on who doesn’t want more.
Tardis the Doctor’s One True Love A two hander with River having “borrowed” the Tardis she discovers that the Tardis needs her help.

I think I prefer River closely tied to Dr Who, I'm not so keen on the standalone River stories.
Two is the only classic Dr she has not met, how about River meets him whilst she is going by the name of Zodin?
River and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart's UNIT
River vs Classic Who Monsters
River in Dalek Empire with Alby and Suzy
River and the Valeyard would be interesting, how would she feel about him?
River and Doctor Ogron

River and Doctor Ogron Has she paired up with the Counter Measures crew yet? River goes to Kaldor City and meets the Robots River visits the Land of Fiction River and the Psychic Circus River meets the King of Peladon River Song in Gallifrey plenty of possibilities to explore

For some reason, River takes over the TARDIS, with Adric, Nyssa and Tegan (or any other TARDIS team - Vicki and Steven, Jamie and Zoe, Flip and Constance, Ace and Hex...) aboard for four adventures!

That would be interesting. I love the concept of River having the Doctor’s companions along for some adventures. Would the companions think that the Doctor had regenerated or that they had been kidnapped along with the Tardis? Why would River take them along? Also what would the companions tell the Doctor when he came back? So many questions... I hope that Big Finish could provide the answers!

Imagine, say, Jamie and Zoe calling River "Doctor" and then not having her name to give the real Doctor when he asks who impersonated him...

I am also loving the idea of it being Jamie and Zoe. I would like to hear more of those two in “proper” full cast stories that don’t want to be of the era. And let’s face it River will not conform to that era...I can hear her threatening to put Jamie over her knee for a spanking!

Wasn’t there a rumor that it was Alex and David Tennant Recording together? Now that would be intriguing!

There is a Ten/River story coming, but most people were speculating that it’s for a 10DA set, whether that’s a full set with River or a specials set with River guesting in one episode who knows. I guess it could be a River Song set too, but I suspect they’d sooner get Tennant in for more 10DAs than a River set.

I reckon if the Ponds do show up - and I think it’s more likely sooner rather than later - Rory is the most likely.
I’d actually really like a box set with River and Rory. Maybe turn it into a box set centered around the Doctor and River’s family? So we could have Susan, Jenny, Rory, and maybe Braxietel? Or maybe even someone related to the Doctor we’ve never met before?
Basically, just find an excuse to shoehorn Rory in somewhere and I’ll be happy.

It's been said before, but River and Brian (her grandfather) seems like such a great hook for a story. That's near the top of my "River Meets Everyone" wish list.
