4th Doctor

Okay, this may be a stupid question, but how does the 4th Doctor know River Song? I ask that because we as fans do not meet River Song until the Tenth Doctor. We really do not get any background information on her. Then Moffatt over the next two Doctors gives us a little more information.

This article from Radio Times, tells of a Big Finish audiobook set to made with River Song and the 4th Doctor. Radio Times did an audio series with the Eighth, Seventh, Sixth, and Fifth Doctors and now they are following that with one with the Fourth Doctor. This is the first time I have seen this and I really excited.

In the stories, we know she has a diary, but we are not made privy of what is in it. So, she most likely has times with most of the Doctors if not all of them. This is something which is very possible with this character. We know that River is a Timelord because she is conceived in the TARDIS. This makes perfect sense and is something which makes for interesting fun.

I love Tom Baker as the Doctor and this will be something which will bring some excitement. The 4th Doctor is probably the most iconic of all the incarnations. His time as the Doctor put this show on the map and made it the iconic show it is.

Seeing the Fourth Doctor in most ways defies logic, but the Doctor is a Time Lord. We really do not have any idea when he meets River, so this is very logical. I honestly believe that this will be really good. The Fourth Doctor and all the things associated with him will fit very well with River. This series of audiobooks should be great and I am going to try and find this one and all the others with RIver in them with other incarnations of the Doctor.
