River Song Series 10- The Two RiversRiver has a sonic trowel and mentions meeting clones of herself before, so after Series 3. Beauty on the InsideNothing to go on here really. When told she’s a dead woman walking River does respond she has been for years, so maybe post- Husbands when she knows her fate is looming? Black Friday So this story was written to explain The Big Bang’s line about River dating a Nestene duplicate…unfortunately she also has a sonic device and claims to he a professor which doesn’t really work with being before The Big Bang. FirewallAs the premise suggests, this is during River’s afterlife post- Forest of the Dead.Also in Black Friday, an issue I thought was glaring is that she seems to hint at Rory’s time as an Auton which would suggest a later placement as well.

River Song Series 11:
River is on an expedition from Luna University at the beginning of the set and she has her sonic trowel, but what’s interesting is this is explicitly before she becomes a Professor, as that does play into the set somewhat.
She also mentions her diary is well over half full, knowing her time, at least with the Doctor, is coming to an end, as they’d know exactly the amount of pages to include. That does seem a bit muddy to me, though, as they seem to have River decide whether the diary is or isn’t solely for adventures with the Doctor as they see fit.

It’s also mentioned that River has used the title Professor in the past, because she knows she’ll become one, one day. Which puts its after Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone. And there’s a reference to The Two Rivers. I think that considering Professor is more of an academic rank than a qualification like her doctorate, it could be said that although in this story she’s not yet a Professor at the Luna University, she could’ve been a Professor at one of the other universities she’s worked at.

Yeah, that’s a good point. The Professor aspect with River has always confused me a little. I think it’s because, as you say, it’s a rank so it feels like something that’s used interchangeably rather than any indication. I did feel Friend of the Family was a little more meaningful, as it emphasised it so much.

For placing The Union; River has experienced her meeting with Susan in An Unearthly Woman but Darilium is still in her future.
