River Song (Doctor Who)
River Song is a fictional character created by Steven Moffat and played by Alex Kingston in the British science-fiction series '' Doctor Who''. River Song was introduced to the series as an experienced future companion of series protagonist the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time in his TARDIS.

Kingston plays her in 15 episodes, as River becomes a companion, romantic interest and eventual wife of the Doctor in his eleventh incarnation portrayed by Matt Smith. The Twelfth Doctor (played by Peter Capaldi) is the last incarnation to meet her, spending a 24-year-long night with her, before her first meeting with the Tenth Doctor. River Song was created by ''Doctor Who'' writer Steven Moffat for the show's fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
