| '''''River Song: Her Story''''' was a mini-episode of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' broadcast as part of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]].''

| | Because the segment was not specifically credited, it's hard to know who, exactly, made it. It was likely written by [[Steven Moffat]]. It featured no new footage, so it had no [[Director (crew)|director]], [[director of photography]] or really not much of ''any'' crew. Its key creatives were likely [[Offline Editor]] [[John Parker (editor)|John Parker]] and [[Edit Assistant]] [[George Sabapathy]], the people credited with editing ''[[When Time Froze]]'' as a whole. It's entirely possible that [[colourist]] [[Matt Mullins]] may have been required to achieve a colour balance on the piece, since it was the combination of many different episodes. |

| A Good Man Goes To War
| |
|
| |
|
| I was born in battle on an asteroid called Demons Run.
| | [[Category:Doctor Who Confidential]] |
| | |
| I was the daughter of Amy Pond and Rory Williams. They named me Melody Pond.
| |
| | |
| The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon
| |
| I was kidnapped, taken by Kovarian servant of the Silent to an orphanage on Earth. I was raised with only one purpose, to kill the Doctor.
| |
| | |
| I escaped the space suit and lived on the streets homeless, alone and dying until I regenerated.
| |
| | |
| Let’s Kill Hitler
| |
| I became the best friend of young Amy and Rory. Growing up with my parents, awaiting the arrival of the Doctor.
| |
| And then I regenerated into a new form
| |
| | |
| I was the woman that would become River Song, although I didn’t know that at the time.
| |
| I was trained and conditioned for one purpose, I was born to kill the Doctor, and I did so with a kiss. A kiss poisoned by the Judas Tree.
| |
| | |
| But I was shown who River Song would be and I saw just how much I would love him.
| |
| And so I gave all my remaining lives to restore his. Because I knew the Doctor was worth it.
| |
| And in return he left me the most wonderful gift.
| |
| | |
| Let’s Kill Hitler/Closing Time
| |
| I knew that someday I would find the Doctor, but the space suit was waiting for me.
| |
| The Impossible Astronaut/The Wedding of River Song
| |
| | |
| But I just couldn’t bring myself to kill him and so all of time collapsed and only the Doctor could save the universe
| |
| | |
| Rule 1, the Doctor lies. He escaped his own death. A secret I knew I had to keep.
| |
| Even though it meant imprisonment, but I’ve always been good at escaping.
| |
| From this point on I realised I knew more than him.
| |
| From that moment on we were living our lives in the wrong order, the Doctor and me.
| |
| And In all our future meetings I would know him more but he would know me less.
| |
| Until one day the Doctor would invite me to watch me kill him.
| |
| Once again I found myself at Lake Silencio, folding back on my own timeline. This time a witness to the Doctors shooting,
| |
| knowing everything but unable to tell those that cared the most, that the Doctor would survive.
| |
| | |
| Back to the orphanage where I grew up, only this time as witness to my own escape.
| |
| | |
| And then came his first kiss, and my last.
| |
| | |
| The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang
| |
| But I always knew the Doctor would be there for me. So long as I left him a message.
| |
| | |
| The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone
| |
| He would always be there to catch me. Even at the crash of the Byzantium he came, my love couldn’t resist it. Bringing with him, Amy, who did not know.
| |
| | |
| The Wedding of River Song
| |
| I’d finally let her know the wonderful secret, that the best man I’d ever known was alive.
| |
| However delighted they were, I knew a far worse day was waiting for me,
| |
| my last encounter with the Doctor.
| |
| | |
| Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
| |
| I always knew that one day my love wouldn’t know me. Now I looked into his eyes and saw that day had come.
| |
| | |
| But that man, that impossible man never gives up,
| |
| the Doctor saved me persevering me in a computer and all my glorious memories of the Doctor live on,
| |
| because just sometimes everybody lives.
