Do any of you think River could carry off her own series, and would it be something you would watch? I love the character and I think that there is so much that we could learn about her and her life away from the Doctor. We havent seen enough of her in DW and I think this would be a perfect way to fill in the gaps as well as getting a good dose of the character. What do you think?

Though I think the likelihood of a River spinoff, or indeed any other spinoff, is unlikely. I would certainly watch it. I think with the write stories and writing it could potentially be brilliant as I think the character has a lot of mileage

I think it could be a good idea. I know I would tune in

I would watch a River spinoff, certainly. Though I dothink the time for spinoffs from the show is passed now and one featuring any character is unlikely

I'd definitely watch. Isn't Alex Kingston signed up for another show though?

She was in another one that got cancelled recently. She was in two that got cancelled recently actually. Could be one of them that you mean

Wouldn't this create the same problem as the regen thing in SJA? Answering questions about Doctor Who, somewhere OTHER than Doctor Who? With that being said, I'd watch. If it was part of her story, and not just fluff to get ratings and to expand the Whoniverse just for the sake of expanding it. Then again, look how thin RTD was running with doing more than just Who. Then we get *gems* like the End of Time because of it So maybe its better that we don't have one. But if she put on that black leather suit again, I'd be forced to watch....

Something like a 4 ep mini series could be good. Nothing that would reveal too much, perhaps with not even direct references to DW, just her adventures between being with The Doctor or something. Or even before she met him maybe?

Can't for the life of me see why this would happen. River is so intricately tied in with The Doctor that the main show is really the ONLY place for her. I imagine this will become abundantly clear once we actually discover WHO she is.

Well this got some varied replies I still think it would be a great way to get some River adventures that don't include the Doctor.

Although she is very tied in with The Doctor, she obviously has adventures that she has on her own which could be explored on a spin-off show. However, I think that you will never get away from having the Doctor show up from time to time. And yes, it will make a difference once we really know more about her

Yes her life is very intertwined with the Doctors, but at the same time there is plenty of scope to cover adventures that she had away from him too.

Its a potentially interesting idea, but I don't think it would ever happen. In comic form perhaps though it would or could

A comic version could be cool. I'd buy it!
