Time of Angels Spoilers

Ahead of her return in Saturday’s episode of Doctor Who, River Song actress, Alex Kingston, has done a number of promotional interviews and revealed some spoilery new details about what’s to come for her character and more.

The following is a collection of quotes from Kingston taken from three interviews. There are some fairly big spoilers below so read at your own risk.

[River has] been in prison for a long time for murdering somebody… She [has] killed ‘the best man she ever knew’.

River is allowed to leave prison because her archaeological expertise is needed to confirm that a piece of art in a collector’s hands is a Weeping Angel. She thinks it’s a Weeping Angel rather than just a sculpture, but she needs the Doctor to confirm it.

There’s a party in a spaceship where the statue is being held and everybody seems to be in 1940’s outfits.

The Doctor, Amy and River [get] stuck in a forest, with Weeping Angels peeping out from behind trees. These Angels are much more frightening than before. It’s terrifying.

River has a book that contains images of all the Doctors and their adventures, past and future. It’s also the map of their relationship, but he’s not allowed to see it!

At the end of the two episodes, the Doctor asks if he can trust her. River Song says, “Yes, you can, but what would be the fun in that?”
