The Diary of River Song Vol.1 (Spoilers)

Well glad to say the Universe and all of time and space is a big place and I can accommodate it mentally unlike Jago and Litefootand The Paternoster gang that was just too close and too much to believe in unfortunately

I went to a Marvellous Party was much better. 7 out of 10.

Set 3 is my most listened to, f6ollowed by The Tom Baker ones I have to say My Dinner with Andrew remains the favourite of all of them as it’s just so much fun and timely shenanigans that it puts. Smile on my face.But truly don’t think there is a bad box set of stories and am happy to recommend the range to friends

But Thanks for giving me the nudge to relisten i really have enjoyed it

1.1 The Boundless Sea by Jenny T Colgan

River Song has had more than enough excitement for a while. Deciding the universe – and her husband – can look after themselves, she has immersed herself in early 20th century academia, absorbed in writing archaeological theses.
But when a mysterious tomb is found in a dry, distant land, excitement comes looking for River.
Can Professor Song stop any more members of the expedition from dying? What deadly secrets lie buried within the crypt? And will British Consul Bertie Potts prove to be a help, or a hindrance?

Already six years since the first release of The first River Song Box set.I must admit The First set of stories are still among my favourites from its exciting opening moments in the tomb to its finale.I am one of those who is of the opinion that like so many other characters River was actually better served by the BF writers than her own creator.Alex Kingston was just made for the part really.It is a character that very much you could do anything with given she has such a complicated life and the first sets do not rely on River meets blah blah and i think so far the Highlight of the best of her character is The Colony of Strangers which i would class as her BEST ,No Doctor,No previous companions etc and they need to rediscover this aspect of story telling,the actress and the character absolutely deserve it.it is funny as in her first set she works with Alexander Vahalos of Dorian fame and look how well his mostly Doctorless series went.Anyways i do enjoy this box set a lot and it will be my Saturday listen through .
Yes they had to throw in McGann but it was hardly necessary River can hold her own,they should have shown more faith in the character 

1.3 Signs by James Goss

River Song is on the trail of the mysterious, planet-killing SporeShips.
Nobody knows where they come from. Nobody knows why they are here. All they do know is that wherever the SporeShips appear, whole civilisations are reduced to mulch.
But River has help. Her companion is a handsome time-travelling stranger, someone with specialist knowledge of the oddities and dangers the universe has to offer. For Mr Song has a connection to River's future, and he would never want his wife to face those perils alone.

There was something about the elite group that grabbed my interest and could have been further utilised in further sets of stories and i did love the Sporeships.
Am continuing onto story three.From the previous tales Bertie Potts chemistry with river was very evident and once all the shenanigans with the murder are finished we have the wonderful entry of Samuel West onto the scene as Mr Song...
