The Diary of River Song's first series ties up with this fantastic story, featuring all the components of a great Doctor Who story: spaceships, sinister corparations, timey-wimey aspects and the Doctor himself!
On the subject matter, Paul McGann is fantastic in this story and has lovely interplay with Alex Kingston. His appearance is pulled off really well - although I do have one issue, (I'll get to that later) - and the chemistry between River and the Eighth Doctor leaves me hungry for more! The plot is well-construed and concludes the series arc nicely, solving various mysteries yet leaving some untouched, which, to my surprise, worked well, giving a god-like-complex to something I won't mention, as I don't want to spoil it for you.
Whilst this story isn't as good as Signs, (I call this the Heaven Sent - Hell Bent syndrome) I thoroughly enjoyed it. The main storyline feels slightly sidelined by the appearance of the Doctor, but with the great chemistry between Kingston and McGann - who's complaining?
9/10
