I'd vote for more tenth Doctor. The more 10th Doctor the better, I say.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think River & Bernie are a bit too similar. Not really sure if Id want them in a box set together. Honestly, I thought The Boundless Sea and Marvellous Party could have been Benny stories, with about 90% of the script intact. But I would like to see the two get on famously, preferably alongside a frightened Doctor who is not at all comfortable with how similar they are.

I'd vote for more tenth Doctor. i was thinking about them. when river meets 10 in the library she expects him to know her. so the idea that they adventured together fits. i vote for 10 and river as well.

Moffat said he assumed the Picnic in Asgard was with the Tenth Doctor, so that. I'd like to see that.

While I can see some similarities, Benny strikes me as far more down to earth than River. For example, I can't imagine River in Benny's place, in the bits with her and Norman Powers in Conundrum.

In the new DWM, Alex says her own wish for future sets is to work with more Doctors, though she only name-checks David and Matt as incarnations she'd like to meet again.
I'm inclined to think we should have a run of stories where The Doctor is not involved and her diary entries/the narration doesn't mention him as much as Vol 1 did. I didn't think it was excessive or anything but I think River is such a strong character that she doesn't need the crutch or any sales boost.
I think people are right that there are certain similarities between River and Benny (I think both being arcehaologists makes it seem more pronounce) but I'd also say there are a few parallels with Vienna and River too.

Unfortunately it's not pay day yet so I haven't had a chance to listen to 'The Diary of River Song' so apologies if any thing I'm about to say does actually happen in the release! But I'd love to see more about River's days at the Luna University soon after she first meets the Doctor in 'Let's Kill Hitler' maybe even loosely based on Justin Richard's 'Time Lord Letters' as River attempts to gather information about various incarnations of the Doctor. Maybe even meeting the Master who convinces her that he is a future incarnation of the Doctor. Saying this however, I'd maybe not want this in the very next release because I'd like to see the spin off become its own and not have an over reliance on Doctor Who elements as Big Finish have proven they can do with Benny, J&L and Graceless. We'll see what happens though I'm sure big finish will do a sterling job whatever

I'd quite like something set in the Library, showing how they got to the conference call with Vastra etc in Name of the Doctor. For that matter I'd like a meeting story with River and Vastra. Knowing River's lack of respect for Time, so stories with Rory and Amy set after Angels Take Manhatten. Cheers Tony I don't think River can really get around the time lock, either and The Diary of River Song very much has her in mourning for her parents. Not exactly. The Doctor says something about it being her parents. But River went and told Amy to write the note to the Doctor in Amy's book. So she must have been able to go back to where Amy and Rory were.

Because River was already there as author of Melody Malone books, maybe whereas the Doctor, Amy and the TARDIS weren't until they read the book and decided to go and save Rory?

I'm kind of torn. I'd love to see River meet other Docs, pretty much any of them, but the overuse of plot devices such as the Doctor then forgetting, or the 2 characters not seeing each other face to face, or River being in disguise etc. would quickly start to wear thin.

Or, she just travelled a few years before hand, hung around a bit, then left. Or waited a few years after the big time knot that is that time and place to visit. Or travelled to another point in the galaxy, chartered a spaceship to drop her off on Earth.
Several ways to go see them again.

Well, according to Big Finish Day news, we are going to see River and Ten together. I can't wait to see Ten flustered again by her I don't think Doom Coalition 2 is going to continue the trend, however. - I don't think they'll do the same gimmick. I think they'll be the ever reliable mindwipe at the end.

DO you know what was said because Mark, Kim, Masta and a few of us followed literally every bit of social media coming out of BF Day and that never came up once as anything solid. If River/10 was actually confirmed, it would have been big news. I wonder if it was just a "we'd like to, at some point" and there have been crossed wires as there was with some Blake's 7 news.

Yes nothing was confirmed regarding the content just that another boxset has been recorded.

You were just going on what you read Alex has 100% said she'd love to do a set with David and Matt, it's in this month's DWM, so there's nothing to stop it barring availability I think for such an event it would probably be more likely to be in the 10DA format, with a deluxe edition. I know I'd cough up 30 quid for a deluxe book of 3 hour long stories with Ten and River!

Part of the problem was when the big finish twitter feed start tweeting audience questions and we thought they were announcements.
