Quotes
“The idea of River meeting previous Doctors was actually proposed by Steven Moffat, and it’s just irresistible, isn’t it? Alex embraced the idea of returning to the role, and so she will be starring in no less than two box sets next year. And yes, we are still pinching ourselves!” - Producer David Richardson
