Of course River Song writes a book about River song writing a book.
...about River Song.
yes
Why do you have to break my arm? :( Because Amy read it in a book!
As if her storyline wasn't already tedious
Yes
Dude I love the idea of the actor/actress writing a book from their character's perspective, I wanna read this :)
You'd love Ian Marter then, or Tom Baker. :-)
Sophie Aldred's At Childhood’s End was a great example of this working
@Robbles If you're a Trek fan, you should read "A Stitch In Time" by Andrew Robinson, the actor who played Garak on DS9.
"dude" "wanna " what absolutely shocking grammar young man
@@jonylawson73 Haha, I'm sorry Jonathan
she really wrote her own fanfiction and published it for us all to read
The way her voice changes between the times she's reading the narrative, and the times she's reading her dialogues is so iconic.
It isssss
River always had the best storyline for a companion
I completely agree!
Wow! Is that what you call your spouse, as well? :P
@@AvanToor she's just well written, even when Amy's child shot her husband in front of her mom who was pregnant with the child...
During the Eleventh Doctor's era I always looked forward to River's episodes the most, hoping we might find out something new about her.
Well .... Except for Rose of course.
the way Alex Kingston embodies the character so completely; it was always a joy to see River Song make an appearance
I wish that they had pursued having her and Peter together for several seasons. They had amazing chemistry and the show would have been incredible.
I would have loved that; their relationship really did feel more genuine than her and Matt's, at least in my opinion. Although Matt's Doctor always felt a little wooden to me.
iconic. we need her back in dr who
Her last episode was a perfect end for her, I say she should do more audio adventures
Her story is FINISHED
YES, PLEEEEASE! WE DO 💙💙
@@gsam2021 I agree but she could come back as a library ghost
Her storyline is done and it is confusing but brilliant. She needs no more main appearances :)
I'm hoping she did the audiobook for this. Love River Song.
She did!
@@nangstalgic4423I've literally never had any interest in audiobooks before today -- but for Alex Kingston/River Song, hell yes!
Loving the Amy/11th Doctor glasses!
Are they the exact same frames? Lots of frames are kinda similar so I wasn't sure
"What you are going to be, Melody, is very, very brave."
Ordered the book yesterday, hope the delivery doesn't have to jump through such hoops.
I'm half human on my mother's and father's side"
I love the TV movie reference!
Yessssss
I don't think it's a reference to the movie, just a joke about how both of her parents are human while she's only half. (Something that comes up in A Good Man Goes to War)
@@kurukurushuffle it’s both
@@kurukurushuffle I could be just a joke but I doubt it because of the way she says it also that line is kind of infamous at this point
@@marenpodarm426 The 1996 TV movie starring Paul McGann as the eighth doctor and Eric Roberts as the master
Alex has such a warm energy about her.
River Song still beautiful as ever❤❤❤❤❤
What do you mean still? She’s always 😂
@@blackpinkluv9869 I mean no matter how older Alex Kingston gets she is still gorgeous
Alex is Beautiful and intelligent.
_"Time is my blood"_
Great line.
I can listen to alex reading a book for hourss. The way she reads is like shes imagining those words in her head acting them out love it.
She deserves to have her own spin-off series! #RiverSonghasmyheart
She’s like the cool crazy haired English teacher I always wanted 🤣
She’s the real mrs frizzle
@@turtleisland1940 lmao
@@turtleisland1940 Thank you! I've been saying that for years.
@@turtleisland1940beat me to it 🤣
_She has her mother's glasses._
YES
THE BOOK IS GORGEOUS‼️Congratulations to Alex on the release of her book. I'm sure this book will be one of my favorites, and Alex is now not only my favorite actress, but also a writer. I love her and her work very much🥰❤️🥰
alex's so pretty, and her writing quite brilliant too! really looking forward to owning a copy 💙💙
Ah...prequel of how river song was in Manhattan at the time of "angels in Manhattan". How exciting!
That episode made me cry
I just recently watching The Husbands of River Song. God, that was a great special.
It's one of the best Christmas specials, for sure!
@@callumarcadio Especially the "How long is a night on Darillium?" Blows me away EVERY f..ing time!
LOVE IT!! And Miss Kingston is the ONLY actress who could have played RIver Song!!
*spit take* A RIVER SONG NOVEL WRITTEN BY THE GODDESS HERSELF?!? I MUST OWN THIS!!!
EDIT: *double spit take* AND IT'S ABOUT NARRATIVE CAUSALITY?!?! This just hit to the top of my birthday wish list!!!!!
It's fascinating to see how River thinks.
I'm glad it's told from her point of view, much like The Day of The Doctor novelisation.
I just finished reading this - bought it as soon as I heard about it, and pretty much read it in one sitting! It's a very entertaining ride - time travel, Ancient Egypt, River Song AND Melody Malone, Cleopatra, a story within a story with River as the author... I shan't say any more - spoilers!! I heartily recommend it to Doctor Who fans! 😄
She wrote it herself? ALEX YOU QUEEN
@@bookcollector538 but STILL
It hurts to remember that 12th lost his marriage ring at the time of regeneration into 13th
Ngl, if that's what that was I'm now very angry.
I think that was Peter's real wedding ring not 12's ring
@@BlackKnight777 It might have been both?
@@codo8584 - yes, it was both. In the novelisation of Twice Upon a Time, Paul states that the Doctor wore the ring to remember River (he wasn't anticipating meeting her again after The Name of the Doctor). It was for her memory, like the picture of her on his desk.
@@BlackKnight777 It was.
My reaction to hearing that a book she has written and published: Hello, sweetie!
Alex is so thoroughly gorgeous. Time can’t touch her. No wonder The Doctor married her.
I totally agree!
She touches time, not the other way around.
@@Alexagrigorieff oh, that's brilliant! 👌💚💚💚
She died at nearly 224 years old.
River song has BRAINY SPECS! YES!!!
Love this! I half expected her to say 'are you sitting comfortably?' 😂
Alex is amazing. I will watch/listen/read anything she does especially river song!
"You watch us run"
I really love her Character. I just wish she come back to the ongoing series very soon in near future. 🥰
Thank you, Alex, for continuing River Song's wonderful adventures. 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿
Those glasses!
Very Harry Potter
She's awesome 😊👍🏻
I would listen to a whole podcast/audiobook of this
There is one!!!
@@hanni6800 where? 😮😮😮
@@voiceappeal I bought in on amazon :) u can pre order it there
@@hanni6800 thanks!
Oh sweetie, thank you so much! This cheerd up my day! I also love your glasses! 🥰🔥🤙
How awesome that Alex has written a novel for her own character. Will definitely be looking at buying this or the audiobook. Fantastic Alex 👏
River Song and Fugitive Doctor are two of the most satisfying characters for me.
Pleased come back again River！
I really hope that someday they find a good way to write her back into the series (and that the series comes back SOON).
Did anyone else notice that Alex’s glasses are the same shape as the glasses Amy wears in Angels Take Manhattan?
The Doctor did too
Do they give her noticeable lines under her eyes?
Yes! I thought so, but I didn't know if they belong to the actress or if it was just used for the fun of the fans
@@Zach90888 I think that she isn't as made up as she would be on Doctor Who. It's good to see lines on a person's face instead of the "stretch" of plastic surgery!
@@marywood8794 I was just referencing that line in doctor who, where Amy wears the glasses
I would love this to be made into a series
I Love River Song reading
I miss her 😍
I’ve been waiting for this book to come out! Alex Kingston reading it is really cool.😊
I ❤️ the River Song storyline! Now can’t wait to read this book.
So good!
Guess I'll be reading this over the weekend. Might have to get the Audiobook as well, as I didn't realize how much I missed that voice. ❤
I am extraordinarily excited for this!
Please please come back for another episode 🙏
Such an awesome actresses. 👍
River Song plays this “writer” very well, but I’m onto her
Hope we see River Song back on Doctor Who during the upcoming new season.
I'd love that
Series*
Nope. Her ending in THoRS was perfect.
Gorgeous Alex Reads another river song detective book, love it!
Hello sweetie, it’s great to hear you’ve been writing a novel! Can’t wait to find out what rivers been up to :) I hope there’s no spoilers in this video!
Jesus, I woke up to this and my brain automatically exploded. I've loved Alex since her E.R. days!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥴❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Protect Alex Kingston AT ALL COSTS
I've been rewatching ER and Alex Kingston was a genius addition to the already great cast. She elevated every scene she was in and was a breath of fresh air.
Hope she’ll be back to the tv show one day ! Could be interesting to discover how she’ll react with the new doctor 🤗
I went ahead and started an audible subscription just to try this. I love seeing Alex on doctor who and she has this beautiful voice with wonderful emotional inflections. I'll post back when I'm done.
A "self inflating crocodile" 3:04 totally sounds like something the 11th doctor would have owned ;-)
I wonder if Doctor would take River to ride them like Aang did with penguins? XD
I love it when key actors write their own FanFic (there is a delightful Colin Baker short that BigFinish produced a few years back)
Alex can read me a bed time story anytime, anywhere! Man I love her.
Fantastic!
This is PERFECTION! Gosh she's wonderful!
I love the subtle reference to Amy with the glasses
This gave me chills! My book haven't even arrived and it's already one of my favorites 😍😍😍😍
Such a wonderful idea to write a book about such interesting character by the actress of the role herself. Love it.
Don't particularly like River but I do like Alex Kingstons enthusiasm for the character so am looking forward to reading her take on River.
not to let my fanboy show but Alex is brilliant and beautiful --- River we so miss you in Who ....
River!
We finally have a River Song outro!
“I’m half human on my mother’s and father’s side” if that isn’t a great way of describing the nonsensicalness of River I don’t know what is
Beautiful reading can’t wait to read
Alex reading makes it so exciting, must get the book.
I love Alex Kingston, River Song, and Melody Malone!
We love it she was idea what a beautiful of actress.
Sounds amazing
I received it the other day for my birthday! I'm so excited to read it!!!
Alex Kingston is just so iconic!
One of my birthday presents was a signed copy of this novel. I'm looking forward to reading this book.😊
River Song is one of the best characters of any work of fiction fight me
How deep is this woman go into doctor who is actually hilarious it feels like she lives and breathes it
Alex Kingston, I would fricking pay you to read me bed time stories
Im 16 but I find your voice verry suiting, you can read the emotions verry good in the book.
Please do this more, like this sort of videos
Spoilers😊 loved River Song!🥰
The jumping over the crocodiles was very James Bond 😆 I love it! And her outro!
Hi Alex Kingston!
This is quite nice, thank you. I just ordered the CD and am looking forward to this.
Definitely on my TBR list!!
I love her so much
My book has just arrived !!!
That was wonderful!
To my wishlist! :D Great job!
I am waiting, impatiently, for my copy to come from the UK!
i just received my own copy of "The Ruby's Curse" , i'm gonna really enjoy reading it !
How was it?
Amazingly written! Alex writes as sassy and psychopathic as she plays River!
Co-written with Jacqueline Rayner
This book is marvelous
