Last seen on screen together in 2008’s “Silence in the Library/The Forest of the Dead,” Professor River Song and the Tenth Doctor are about to reunite for three new adventures in time and space!

Releasing this November, The Tenth Doctor and River Song is a full-cast audio production with an original score from Big Finish Productions. The release will also feature special guest appearances by Peter Davison (The Fifth Doctor) and Colin Baker (The Sixth Doctor).

The Doctor knows that River Song is a part of his future. A maddening, intriguing, but inevitable part.

Their lives are becoming inextricably intertwined, but in these early days – for the Doctor at least – they must navigate their relationship without too many spoilers.

Whatever her past, and the Doctor’s future, holds, River will make sure that he has fun untangling the mystery.

Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor and River Song (directed by Nicholas Briggs) is available to preorder now either as a collector’s edition four-disc CD box set or a digital download. The 240-minute set includes the following stories:

Expiry Dating by James Goss: The first time the Doctor met River Song, he saw her die. And now she’s asking him on a date. Well, not a date, exactly… More of a mission. With billions of lives hanging in the balance, can the Doctor afford not to do whatever River wants? Whichever one of him she asks?

Precious Annihilation by Lizzie Hopley: When jewels become lethal in the London of 1912, both River and the Doctor turn up to find out why. A mystery takes them centuries into the past, and onto the high seas, where a superstitious crew edges towards mutiny.

Ghosts by Jonathan Morris: River and the Doctor meet on the most haunted planet in the galaxy. The Doctor’s not sure it’s an ideal date – until they discover a mystery. Something is wrong with the ghosts. Something might even be killing them…

Per producer David Richardson: “The Tenth Doctor only met River Song once on TV, and that was at the end of her life. But what happened after/before that, after/before the Eleventh Doctor came on the scene?”

“What a joy this run of stories was to make, bringing David Tennant and Alex Kingston together online to record during lockdown, exploring those previously untold meetings between Ten and River. Those two actors absolutely sparkled together – it was so clear they were having a blast!”
