Here, she meets up with the Tenth Doctor ( David Tennant) in the 51st century. River Song first appears in the Doctor Who 2008 series two-episode story 'Silence in the Library'/'Forest of the Dead'. The order of appearances of River Song are not the same from her point of view as they are from the point of view of the Doctor and the viewers. Because she was conceived in the TARDIS as it travelled through the space-time vortex, Melody is born with genetic traits and abilities much like to the Doctor's own race, the Time Lords. Kingston had appeared with these characters several times in series five (2010). Born Melody Pond, River is the daughter of the Eleventh Doctor's companions Amy Pond ( Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams ( Arthur Darvill).

In series six (2011), Moffat's episodes showed more about the character. He said that she was 'vital' to the Doctor's life. After the character's first time on the series, Davies said she was as 'one of the most important characters' in the story. When the character was first seen, much about her was mystery. She has been an infant, a child and a young adult. Other actresses have also played younger versions of the character. Alex Kingston went from being from a guest star to a recurring actor in the series. He created adventures earlier in River's timeline. When moffat took over the job of executive producer from Russell T Davies, he started developing the character's background. River Song was created by Doctor Who writer Steven Moffat for the programme's fourth series in 2008. In later episodes, River is a companion of the Doctor in his eleventh form ( Matt Smith). The first time they met (in the series) is his first but her last time.

Because of this, her time spent with the Doctor does not happen in the same order his time with her does.

The Doctor is an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in his TARDIS. River Song was first seen in the series as a future companion of the Doctor. River Song is a fictional character in the British science-fiction series Doctor Who.
