With Volume 9’s release with River meeting The Third Doctor and UNIT
What would you say is the most likely next set of adventures set with
River meeting in Volume 10 and possibility beyond
Added a poll to make things easier

Since we already had River meet Jack, I think River meeting Torchwood per se is not that high on the agenda.
Knowing Big Finish, and knowing the excitement of fans about the return of 9, I think River meeting 9 would be right up there.
Of course it depends if Eccleston agrees to work with Alex Kingston, but I do not see a reason why he should not (except there is some previous history I do not know about).
If I was asked what I wanted?
Some nice unattached adventures, not bound to any past story or character. They can still be set in the shared universe and use something like the Dalek Universe as a backdrop. But at the rate we are going, maybe even River Song- The Time War is up next.

I’ve put original adventures. I’ve nothing against having some sort of continuity, but it’s often doesn’t go beyond “let’s pair River with X or put her in Y” and that’s where people have the issue, I think. Series 5, 6 & 8 always spring to mind. That’s not to say they don’t have good stories, but overall they’re little more than pairing River with X, Y and Z and are at the ranges detriment.
I actually think my ideal River set currently would feature continuity, but stuff that relates to her; a set with the Library crew, adventures with Nardole, stories with Brian or Rory. Otherwise I’d quite like some suitably high concept archeological adventure(s), which is rarely done, surprisingly.

Considering how seemingly reticent Big Finish are to have Torchwood cross over with over ranges I can’t see River bumping into them anytime soon. Especially when you already have a set focused on her joining a massive group.
As for her meeting Nine? No idea, could honestly go either way. I think it’s more likely she’ll meet up with The Paternoster Gang or someone such as Vienna.
Definitely be up for some more self contained adventures though.

I would love to see a River and family set actually. River and Rory, River and Brian, River and Amy(one could hope), and one with all four together(perhaps a Christmas special). Maybe even a younger Brian meeting Rory's mum?

Maybe even a younger Brian meeting Rory's mum? This was my first thought too when I saw the title of the post. Perhaps a set with just River and Brian travelling around the universe. It would kind of be the inverse of the Doctor and Susan. |

Eccleston meeting River would depend on if he wants to do it (the 9DAs have largely strayed away from "the Ninth Doctor meets [returning element he didn't meet on TV]" thus far). Whether it happens in Diary or not depends on if he's OK playing the Doctor outside of the 9DAs or not. I also think River meeting Dudman's Eleventh Doctor would only happen if it was clear that Matt was *never* going to reprise the role for BF at all.
What I would *really* like, though, is a River set that avoids any returning elements from the TV show at all. Series 7 almost managed this and worked all the better for it.

To be honest, I always thought it would be neat to see a boxset where River Song bumps into recognisable historical figures we’ve already seen before. Houdini, Churchill maybe even an appearance by Reinette?
