Асхильда, юная девушка-викинг, погибла, спасая свою деревню от врагов. В награду за смелость Доктор воскрешает ее с помощью инопланетного устройства и дарит бессмертие. С тех самых пор Асхильда ведет дневники о своей удивительной жизни. Она прожила дольше, чем стоило, и потеряла больше, чем способна вспомнить.

‘Hello, sweetie!’

Melody Pond, Melody Malone, River Song…She has had many names. Whoever she really is, this archaeologist and time traveller has had more adventures (and got into more trouble) than most people in the universe.

And she’s written a lot of it down. Well, when you’re married to a Time Lord (or possibly not), you have to keep track of what you did and when. Especially as it may not actually have happened to both of you yet.

These are just a few of River Song’s exploits, extracted from her journals. Sometimes, she is with the Doctor. Sometimes she’s on her own. But wherever and whenever she may be, she is never far from danger and excitement.

This is just a tiny portion of her impossible life. But it will reveal more than you’ve ever known about the legend that is River Song.

'Hearing David Tennant and Catherine back together is such a thrill, and fans of the dynamic duo will be celebrating for some time to come... The Doctor and Donna have never sounded so good. An absolute must.' - Metro

'None of the electric relationship between Tennant’s and Tate’s characters has gone away, making this whole release feel less like another BF box set and more like a celebratory event. If you have any affection for the Tenth Doctor’s tenure, buy this set now: you won’t be disappointed.' - Outpost Skaro

'A very special release that perfectly captures the spirit, ethos and ambiance of 2008 – not a tribute or a nostalgia piece, a continuation of that era, the episode could quite easily have slotted in to the season – and coming from an RTD fan that is praise indeed. Undoubtedly a Ten (and Donna) out of Ten.' - Planet Mondas

'Both leads step back into their roles so smoothly it’s as if they’ve never been away, displaying the same chemistry and comic timing that made their TV episodes so memorable… this is unmissable stuff for any Tenth Doctor fans.'
