What’s On TV have posted a new interview with Alex Kingston, in which she discusses her return as River Song in this week’s episode, The Time of Angels.

“When she was introduced two years ago, she’s a time-travelling archaeologist, and I think she only travels in time through the Doctor. She has a very close relationship with the Doctor from the future,” she explains. ”When he requires her to or when she feels the need, she will travel back in time to one of his previous incarnations.”

She added: ”In terms of her relationship with the Doctor right now, she has travelled back into his past, but it’s also her future… It’s a little complicated! She has met this Doctor before, although he hasn’t met her yet in his incarnation, except that he remembers when he was David Tennant. He remembers seeing her die - so he knows her future. He knows the bit she doesn’t know. God, it’s so complicated!”

The Time of Angels airs this Saturday at 6:20PM on BBC One and BBC HD.

    I wonder if Alex Kingston knows what River is to the Doctor. Or if she did when filming Silence/Forest. I wonder if Matt Smith knows. Or knew when shooting this, which was his first ep. I bet David Tennant never did.
