“[…] I think she also gets a different side of the Doctor. The Doctor who’s always in control, always in command, and whose friendships are always short enough, in a way, people don’t quite know what an utter idiot he is. And this woman saying, ‘I absolutely know every last detail and have a book of your idiocy’. She can talk to him like no one else can. You see him a bit on the back foot there, ’normally I can be impressive because I don’t hang around that long, but here’s River, and she knows’, she loves him. But she loves him like a wife.“
