River Song: Her Story was a mini-episode of Doctor Who broadcast as part of Doctor Who Confidential. It features Alex Kingston, in character as River Song, narrating a biography of her life featuring clips from all River's episodes presented in chronological order (from River's perspective).


River Song

A Good Man Goes To War

I was born in battle on an asteroid called Demons Run.

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.
