The Doctor’s wife is back in a brand-new box set of exciting audio drama which marks the end of The Diary of River Song series (although that doesn’t mean she won’t be back in the future... or the past!).  

Joining Alex Kingston to endure an emotional séance, reunite with a clone of herself, and fight monsters old and new is an incredible guest cast, including Camille Coduri (Doctor Who), Nina Toussaint-White (The Feed), Joseph Millson (The Sarah Jane Adventures), Sarah-Jane Potts (Holby City), Alexandra Fletcher (Brookside) and Carol Royle (Life Without George).  

The Worlds of Doctor Who – The Diary of River Song: The Orphan Quartet is now available to own as a collector’s edition 4-disc box set (on CD + download at £29.99) and as a digital download (at £22.99), exclusively here. 

An old enemy hides beyond the universe, a desolate Cornish inn confronts the truth, a grieving mother holds onto a deadly memento of war, and has the Earth failed to notice it’s been invaded? Professor River Song must solve all this while dealing with a loss of her own. 

The Excise Men by Lou Morgan 

A smugglers' inn on the Cornish coast in the 18th Century is under attack. Never do a deal with the Excise Men. 

Harvest of the Krotons by James Goss 

What are the Krotons? Why are they running a health spa? Jackie Tyler and River Song investigate, because everyone needs a direction point. 

Dead Man Talking by Tim Foley 

Among the wreckage of the planet Earth, an old lady treasures a terrible relic that reminds her of her son. River Song has come to take it away. 

The Wife of River Song by Lizzie Hopley 

River Song is on an expedition seeking the Hive. Her sister is trapped in the ruins of the Hive. River Song is on honeymoon. Three realities meet. 

Producer James Goss said: “River Song is such a brilliant character and we’ve tried to really honour her in these stories.  

“Director David O'Mahony has gathered an amazing supporting cast for this box set – Sarah-Jane Potts playing River Song’s WIFE? Plus Joseph Millson and the Soap Legend that is Alex Fletcher as... a soap legend. And we were lucky enough to get Nina Toussaint-White back as River’s sister/bad angel Brooke.  

“It’s been an honour to be allowed to look after River through a box set that’s about grief, pirates and robots.”
