A Requiem for the Doctor was the second story of the audio anthology, The Diary of River Song: Series Three, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Jacqueline Rayner and featured Alex Kingston as River Song and Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
River has joined the Doctor and his friend Brooke on their travels, and they stop off in 18th century Vienna.
Brooke thinks history is dull. Until people start dying.
Mozart's legacy is not just his music. River has more than one mystery to solve before a killer is let loose on the people of Vienna – and on the Doctor.
