Big Finish
Earlier this month, we announced that the third installment of River Song’s audio set would be back in 2018. Big Finished has announced more information about the stories that will be on set. As we said before, this one will focus on Madame Kovarian, as well as run-ins with the Fifth Doctor!
But before we go on to talk about what to expect in 2018, Big Finish announced today that they’re already gearing for 2019. Let’s just say that River better not get her Louboutin heels stuck in a large scarf…
That’s right! In the fourth series of River Song’s Diary, she will meet the Fourth Doctor. Not much is known about this series except for the fact that Tom Baker is set to appear in these four-one hour stories as well.
With the way this is going, can we expect River Song to meet David Bradley’s first Doctor soon as well? My hope is soon she’ll be able to team up with the Eleventh Doctor, but for now, I love meeting the older regenerations!
For those who are excited about the Third installment coming up in 2018 with Peter Davison, here are the stories you can expect!
