For people who keep asking why they've never seen this and which episode it was from:

These are not from any episode. These are minisodes that were produced separately and placed on the DVDs as special features. Only a small few Doctor Who minisodes were ever aired on television. Some were released online and some were only on the DVDs. There were a few during Tennant's run, and a couple during Capaldi's, but it was during Smith's run that they made a ton of them. I just combined these ones into a single part. See the playlist in the description for more.

"We've got 10 minutes, get dressed"
"So close to the perfect sentence"

oh river

[hipsepipse]

"Your parents are asleep" I love that line! I also find it hilarious that the Doctor has to sneak out/ away from River's parents to see River not the other way around

This minisode really shows off Matts chops as an actor.
He gets to look silly, flirty and extremely old and tired all in a 5 minute clip.

The way he says “ITS THE SAME NIGHT!” makes me laugh 😂

Can we all just acknowledge how much of a Romantic 11 is? i know 10 was always seen as the more romantic dashing doctor but 11 is more sentimental. He is taking her to a single moment in time where almost ALL of the stars in the entire universe can be seen. He can NEVER do that again with ANYONE without risking his own timeline. Sharing a single moment he can NEVER take back with someone is so god damn sweet.

I think Eleven got cold feet about Darillium because he literally saw the reaction on his younger self's face and how hurt he was. He eventually did go there, after a regeneration allowed him to overcome the inevitable.

Considering that this is during her first night in Stormcage, which must be just after Lake Silencio, which is roughly where and when they got married...
this is basically River's honeymoon

Epic foreshadowing... hurting my heart. The face he had when she said "you'll be the death of me." was heartbreaking. You can see him break a little bit inside. You don't get that face without love.

Probably one of the best side plot stories in Doctor Who
The Doctor and River Song.

These 2 are still breaking my heart even so many years later

"You'll be the death of me"....that still hurts. Poor Doctor.

The end, where the two versions of the Doctor are talking about taking River to the Singing Towers, and again a few moments later as the earlier version of River squeezed past the Doctor and comments that he will "be the death of me" are priceless. We get to just glimpse the pain that he is hiding, knowing that she is someday going to die right in front of him in the Library. Matt Smith did an excellent job of just barely showing it before he recovers and goes back to pretending that everything is going to be fine.
It makes you realize that the Doctor ultimately has to deal with this pain with almost all of the people that he cares about. Starting with Susan, Ian and Barbara in the very beginning of the show, he knows at some deep level that eventually all of them will leave and eventually pass away while he continues to travel in his Tardis.

I remember loving these, they're actually very nice and poignant minisodes. I'm glad that The Husbands of River Song retconned the Darillium ending though, it made for an amazing scene between Kingston and Capaldi.

That last part always gets me . My heart breaks 💔

[g.b]

Matt Smith is just an amazing actor. At the end where his smile slowly fades when River mentions Derilium and the pain comes out in his eyes... heartbreaking

I want a relationship like that. Minus the time travel stuff. I just mean playful, flirty, intellectually stimulating. They're so fun to watch.

[WolfQuantum]

I have to say it again. The character River is awesome and Alex who plays her is a unique beauty.

"Parents are asleep upstairs" makes them sound like teenagers sneaking around lol love it! ❤😊
