[@PenneySounds]

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.

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.

[@CMDRThunderush]

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.

[@bdletoast09]

While I'm really glad River got that episode with Twelve (it was a great episode), it always struck me as odd that Eleven never brought her there in the end. Eleven knew that he was supposed to be his last self due to the twelve regenerations limit. He never foresaw that the Time Lords would grant him an additional cycle thus, dying on Tranzalore before bringing River to Derilium would have caused a massive paradox.

[@Wazszsa]

@@bdletoast09I suppose from his perspective - assuming that he would die properly before taking River there, would be like one last act of defiance. A kind of, “if I’m going to die, I won’t resign her to it as well” kind of thing.

[@BrokenNeuron]

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.

[@PenneySounds]

Only Doctor Who can foreshadow a thing that already happened Though it's not as spooky as when they call back to something that hasn't happened yet...

[@PenneySounds]

I may have to whip up a video about that...

[@loganbreau882]

Is it really foreshadowing if we already saw it. It’d be more like a reference if anything. Kinda like Obi-Wan in the prequels saying the same thing to Anikin is considered a reference not foreshadowing.

[@cargo71]

Another one: "...The day’s coming when I’ll look into that man’s eyes-my Doctor-and he won’t have the faintest idea who I am. And I think it’s going to kill me..." (River Song to Rory, in The Impossible Astronaut)

[@callumarcadio]

I just realised that River's catchphrase, "Spoilers", is a bootstrap paradox. The Doctor starts saying it because he heard River say it, and River starts saying it because she heard the Doctor say it. So who came up with it in the first place? Great fan edit, by the way! I'm in the middle of a "River Song-athon", where I watch all of River's episodes in the order she experienced them, and I'm also trying to include as many of the minisodes as I can.

[@PenneySounds]

There's a fan edit out there that's quite good called "The River Song Chronology" that goes scene by scene rather than episode by episode. It was made before "The Husbands Of River Song" came out, but includes everything else, including these minisodes (Though I think they may have missed "Rain Gods"). It's a great watch if you can find it. It's not on KZbin, but can be found on Torrent sites.

[@ItG8823]

In silence of the library when Donna goes to read about something that hasn't come out yet the doctor scalds her and say no spoilers or you'll spoil it so in the event that it is not a paradox it is more likely to have originated from the Doctor.

[@PenneySounds]

@@ItG8823 I forgot about that, but you're right, he did say it before he met her Unless you go by the audio plays, I suppose

[@andrewreid262]

The writing team lol

[@benwhistlecroft600]

Who wrote Beethoven’s fifth?

[@robertmartin9029]

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.

[@LordDaret]

Foreknowledge comes with great costs to the mind, usually due to the inevitability of it. A soothsayer’s curse.

[@Fooq]

As Steven Moffat put it: The Doctor doesn't just travel in a time machine, he lives in one. To him on a good day everyone is alive and he can go and visit them for lunch. But on a bad day everyone is dead and he can visit their funeral.

[@Kryojenix]

[@cuyhater]

Yeeeeah, no. No no no no no.

[@adamsinclair1959]

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.

[@woodrobin]

It's not exactly a retcon. Canonically, the Doctor kept finding a way out of taking her to the Singing Towers of Derilium every time it looked like they were headed there, until the one he couldn't get out of. It was the Doctor's way of trying to head off River's trip to the Library for as long as possible. River says "he's been promising forever." If it was up to him, forever is how long he'd put off keeping that promise.

[@jakemccarty2425]

This is true! If you watch the scene where Capaldi has her at the towers and she talks about how "there were stories about this being our last night" she mentions how he "kept canceling" going, and goes on to say "remember when there were two of you" referencing this scene. It basically confirms that he canceled going again in this mini-sode, likely last minute.

[@ChrisMoody]

@@woodrobin I had never heard that line before, thanks for pointing it out!

[@munch631]

I don't remember which episode or minisode, but the outfit of the 'second' doctor is the same one he wears when he has the goldfish. So I am guessing he cancelled going to Darillium for that.

[@hyhena-gaming9986]

Tye doctor hates endings

[@CritterKeeper01]

The saddest part is that *all* his Companions, all his relationships except the Master/Missy, are really the same thing - he *knows* he's going to outlive all of them, by several orders of magnitude. Only Matt Smith's Doctor didn't have this certainty, because he thought he was on his *last* Regeneration, but even then a single life of his could (and did) outlive whole generations of humans. When Missy compared Clara to the old couple's puppy, she wasn't exactly wrong. River Song was on a little more equal footing, given the way they met, and after she gave up her remaining Regenerations to save him, they were actually both in the same boat, with one lifetime left to them. One wonders if he was hoping that her last life would last several hundred years, like some of his did.

We also thought he already done Darillium but turn out he didn't because The Doctor doesn't like ending. And when 11th Doctor want to search Clara in his own time-stream on Tranzelore, River Song (who already a ghost data) panic, fearing The Doctor will lose in time because turn out The Doctor still not taking her to Darilium until his next regeneration.

0:45 so are you telling me The doctor was punching in the coordinates to pick up future river while talking about the 400 Foot tree on the north side of the mountain in the middle of the sea? Man talk about multitasking

[@FiXato]

nah, he was just pretending to do so. He doesn't actually know how to operate the TARDIS; she ('sexy') just pretends he does and takes him where he needs to be. ;)

Doctor: River, come over River: I can't. I'm in prison Doctor: Your parents are asleep ;)

Thank you so much Penney!!!

[@sistakia33]

Great! Now I'm crying! It was so beautiful! ❤️

[@stephanies2824]

This is both beautiful and very sad. It was a good thing Doctor Who was so funny because so much of what happened (both in the show and to the character) was so incredibly sad.

I love the minisodes

[@cjdoesart]

I love this so much!!!! 🤩

[@AJ84291]

just to say after watching all s1-12 its great to see just little slice of life episodes

[@PenneySounds]

If you want to do a rewatch, the playlist has a link to a document with a viewing order of the show with all minisodes and spinoffs in story order. It's a hell of a ride

[@joshuaelliott5320]

I used to hate moffats erratic and eccentric writing, I spent so much time focusing on the silliness I never saw how amazingly complex the writing was. The thought that was put into just this clip alone was amazing. If I could meet moffat today I would first apologize for not appreciating him and secondly thank him for 5 wonderful years of Who!!

[@badfairy9554]

I bloody love this.

"You'll be the death of me"...... a few days ago I finished series 9, and saw "the husbands of riversong", it still hurts, a lot

[@BellyTheGoob502]

This made me cry so hard the second I heard the durillam and the singing towns I could not stop think of river saying this "You took me to the durillam to see the singing towers oh what I night that was the towers sang and you cried you would tell me why"

[@BellyTheGoob502]

Wow the time they put into the story of river is crazy all the way from the first time we meet her I hope we get to see more of her in the 14th and 15th doctor

[@thedoctor1466]

The dread you can see in the Doctor’s eyes throughout the entire clip slowly fills. Starts with joyful and then turns to worry. Then those worried eyes turns to old, then to depressed.

[@Silverwind87]

River Song: Two of you? The mind races. Jack Harkness: You're telling me.

[@veevs]

My favorite thing about the mini episodes is the long close-ups of the Tardis console.

[@P1ut0UK]

I always love coming back to these episodes and Minisodes, so nostaligic and my favourite era of Dr Who. From this one, I always love how The Doctor got "Spoilers" from River Song, who got it from the Doctor... Maybe we should get Twelve with his Guitar to explain Bootstrap Paradoxes again! 😅

[@stevepashley795]

Wonderful, love Dr Who
