Met Alex Kingston over the weekend and she was telling me all about Big Finish and how much she loved them and she was glowing about this next boxset. She really loves Big FInish and it sounds that she listens to their other output as well. She was also coy about what is coming next, which is being recorded soon, and while she let me in on some secrets.... SPOILERS!Oh, come on, please!!! Just one little hint? Is it something to do with the Doom Coalition sequel? That would surely start recording soon. Or is it something else? Go on, give us something! Anything! ...please?

Don't worry, She was very cryptic most of the time, that was me just being a bit funny(I hope) but from what she said, I do have a guess that it is with another Doctor she hasn't worked with before, but not necessarily Tom Baker by going back through the timeline. I could be wrong though as like I said she was very cryptic. One thing that I can say for certain is that she has no plans to stop anytime soon and she absolutely adores Big Finish in a way that most of the actors that have worked with that I have met have not(Which isn't saying that they don't). She will go on for ages about them and everyone that tells her they want more River, she not only directs them to The Diary Of River Song, but tells them to listen to everything else Big Finish produces(Including Non-Doctor Who Ranges). Oh my gosh guys, she is the most wonderful lady in the world!

And I hope that she gets to meet the Doctor's Daughter.

And I hope that she gets to meet the Doctor's Daughter. That would be cool and I think there might be a few too many DW characters running around the universe, difficult to make them all stand on their own. I think Jenny may work better as a River supporting character. But what I want to see the most is River standing on her own. I want a box set without the Doctor.

It'd be a bit tricky considering a large chunk of her life orbits around the Doctor, but it wouldn't be an impossible feat. I might pick it up purely for some backstory for Kovarian though, there was a character desperately crying out for some kind of elaboration on television.

Oh my gosh guys, she is the most wonderful lady in the world! They could steal Tim Treloar for a cameo... I really love the idea of sneaking in a non announced Doctor into the set. After all every set has involved 2 Doctors to this point, even if one was some unnamed future Doctor.

Well, I'm not particularly keen on Kovarian, as I was not at all keen on the plot arc of Season 6. Much of the enemy's motivation never made much sense to me (the armies of the mainframe hate someone who fights with words or....something something? Headless monks because...because gimmick? Only the overall point of killing him before the Time War re-erupted had logic to it) and obviously he was going to get out of it because they weren't canceling the series right there.
But....I'll get it anyway. I liked the 2nd River set more than the 1st and have no reason to doubt the quality of the 3rd.
Hold on. A thought just occurred. Won't they also have to use a mind-wipe gimmick on River, too? (My mind might be scrambled because I've had a fever bouncing between 101-103 for a couple days, so bear with me). I could swear in Silence/Forest, River remarked that ten had the youngest eyes she'd seen - or was it, he was the youngest she'd seen. But then, BF's series' have a pre-Silence/Forest River meeting 6-8, and now 5. They're younger than 10, or at least, their eyes would be. Though Davison was pretty young himself at the time. So, she would have known about those meetings when she sees 10.

So, she would have known about those meetings when she sees 10. I think the explanation is that River met the 10th Doctor offscreen several times before meeting him at the Library (and soon after her first encounter with the 11th Doctor-River certainly seems to know the 10th Doctor's personality) when he was travelling alone/with unseen companions during the 'specials' year, the Doctor would have been a couple of years older then he was in the Library (it's a stretch but you could argue River knows the Doctor so well by this point that even a couple of years was noticeable, perhaps the 10th Doctor simply has younger looking eyes because he hasn't had the trauma of loosing Donna/Rose again yet), presumably 10th Dr told River he first met her in his current regeneration but keeps coy on the exact circumstances, so River knows to avoid or memory wipe his earlier regeneration's, the 10th Dr is the first she's 'allowed' to meet chronologically so presumably she's keeping coy about meetings with the 1st-9th Doctors. I personally preferred the first set, but really enjoyed both so will be getting Volume 3.

So, she would have known about those meetings when she sees 10. River could have been deliberately misleading him. If Ten was convinced the Library was the furthest back in his timeline she'd ever been, then he'd be content (ish) to let the future come and resolve the temporal puzzle in its own time. Rather than tug the threads of his edited memories or pull any 'cheap tricks' like crossing his past to solve it himself. Alternatively, River likely knew that Ten was going to go looking up his past companions when his regeneration came up. So she'd have reason to suspect he might go looking for her too. Convincing him she wasn't among his former associates prevented that from happening.

Yes, River meeting the Tenth Doctor again is one of my most wanted releases from Big Finish. I don’t think it would happen in her own range, but I think maybe a future 10DA set (perhaps one that focuses on the Specials year?) or a Short Trip. They’ve got a brilliant dynamic in Silence in the Library, so I’d love to hear them again with a bit less mystery surrounding them.

I kind of got bored of river and eleven. The library episodes left me wanting more of river and her “pretty boy”

Given David Tennant's limited availability I would imagine that this is most likely to happen in a future River Song boxset as he would only have to turn up for a day.

I adore River and Eleven, but those glimpses of her with the Tenth and Twelfth Doctors have me intrigued for further adventures without either of them being shrouded in mystery. That said, I’d snap up a trilogy with Eleven, preferably post-Angels Take Manhattan, without the arc in play.

Aren't the Diary boxsets set post-Darillium before River goes to the library? I'd imagine eventually BF will try to write in the group of characters she is travelling with in the library episodes.

That's what I was thinking The Doom Coalition audios are set post-Darillium, but I can't remember if the Diary audios are (post-darillium would probably rule out Nardole appearances)
