The Death and Life of River Song

River in a prequel to a classic story - what a novel idea… :wink:

(Seriously though, I’m a sucker for a bit of fanwank so I can’t judge :slight_smile: )

If they made a prequel / sequel to Delta and the Bannermen with River in it would you be delighted or horrified? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’d be first in the queue, obviously :smiley:

Someone call Big Finish, we can make @deltaandthebannermen a River Song fan with this one neat trick…

What makes this a new series and not just a new season of Diary of River Song?

I think it’s mainly the timeframe, now being post-library. The structure also seems to be closer to one story with four chapters, instead of four stories with an overarching arc as in Diary (from what I’ve listened to at least). They probably could have put this in the same series but wanted to rebrand it since a series with 12+ installments can intimidate people.

This was my thought too. But I have not listened to this yet.

It’s both a rebrand to not scare away new customers but also definitely a reframing of River Song.

These are her adventures post-Library. After the Doctor. A new era. Interesting!
