It's interesting it was planned to be filmed. Was it meant to be released post-Angels? Ooh, maybe it was originally at the ending of the Power of Three? Have them disappear, then a 'two months later' appears and the TARDIS materializes and all we see is the Doctor walking up, saying he's sorry, and hugging him or something as he brings him inside to explain? That'd have been neat.
Pocahontas as McGann and Mulan as Eccleston seem very natural fits as well, but yeah, Rapunzel's the stand-out.
Having now finished The Eternity Clock (which ends on a cliffhanger I dearly hope will never be resolved), I thought you guys might like to know what's written in River's Diary, which you collect fragments off throughout the game. I couldn't make it out on my old SD-TV, but now I've gotten a nice HD one, I can actually see what's written there and type it up for you guys to read. It's actually pretty interesting!
I'll probably notes to explain things - I'll put those in italics to differentiate between what appears in the diary and my own additions. And with that, here we go!

Page One[Note - the pages have numbers to the sides of them in the menu - the page numbers aren't written in the diary itself. I'm just putting which page is which in bold for clarification]
Expedition to the Library
Lux expedition checklist
- Get hold of Prof Gillipan Nexton's "A Closed Book? Leading Theories on the Sealing of the Library"
- Contact Strackman about payment of my advance (don't think his wallet's seen the light of day this century)
- Visit British Museum 4.0 - check out their Node technology. Familiarise.
- Check background of Felman Lux & family - hiding something? Probably not important.
- Lost a few pounds. New space suit!
- Check navigation routes. Land on moon?
- Buy New batteries for the sonic. [Note - yes, that capitol N on 'New' is how it's written]
- Roast chicken for packed lunches.
Page Two
How to pilot the TARDIS
He calls it the zig-zag plater. I think it's a sparkplug.
Handbrake. Remember to tick lock-switch to the left - then it's silent and he won't notice when you move it. (DOWN is OFF)
Vortex stabilizers. Don't think he's even SEEN these.
Randomiser. Don't know why he still has it - but it's fun to switch it on when he's not looking!
Toaster.
When he puts these up, push them back down ASAP.
And when he pushes THESE down, run for cover. [Note - there's a sketch of the TARDIS console in the bottom right of the page, but nothing to indicate what the last two sentences are referring to.]

The spoilers of Lake Silencio
22nd April 2011 (second time round)
Sometimes you can bite your tongue so hard it hurts. It hurts so much, you want to scream - so you just bite down harder and don't make a sound.
He's an idiot. The biggest idiot in the universe. Poor Amy, and poor Rory having to watch that. I know he has his plans, his grand schemes to mould history into a shape he likes, but does he have to keep them under whatever hat is his favourite that week? (A Stetson? Really? That's like seeing your physics teacher in a nightclub. ALL WRONG.)
I fired at the astronaut - shooting at myself - and I did the whole noble "It's no use" thing, just for appearances. Look. I don't mind lying (heaven knows, he and I would nave no kind of relationship without it), but I don't like telling someone else's untruths.
Page Four[Note - the rest of the diary is one long story, with each page following on from the previous]
If he pulls something like this again, I will take that blessed bow tie and wring his neck with it.
The Birth of River Song
Talk about the morning after. The last thing I know, I was someone else entirely. And then today I wake up in a hospital bed, totally at the tender mercy of these Sisters of the infinite Schism, and try to cope with the fact that I'm not who I thought I was.
I am River Song.
So where does that leave me? The new me - or the old me, both are as lost as each other. All I have is a bag of clothes (I think Amy picked them out for me - too many short skirts) and a little blue book. This little blue book. They didn't leave me a pen. The nurses had to look around for ages, eventually phoning out to the nearest antiques store. Don't they know how hard it is to find a biro in the 52nd Century?
Page Five
There was something folded within the pages, right there at the start of this book. A business card. "Professor Artem Candy. Dept. of Antiquities. Luna University" - and then something else. A string of numbers calling itself a "comlink code". Well why not? I mean, who else is going to help me get what I want?
Now I wonder if these nurses can help me with the "comlink" thing..?
An Unearthly Mess
I couldn't help myself! He used to have the worst swiss-cheese memory, so I knew that meeting his first incarnation wouldn't upset too many apple carts. There wasn't any chance he would remember me. Just one blast of the vortex manipulator, and there he would be. The man I love, wearing his very first face. It didn't go well. He lived in a scrapyard! A scrapyard! This was "blending in", I imagine - though why anyone would try to keep a low profile by being Albert Steptoe in 1963, I have no idea.
Page Six
Anyway the second he saw me snooping around the gates he lurched at me, waving his walking stick like a weapon. "And what do you think you're doing?" The point of the stick was aimed right between my eyes. "Hmm? This is private, yes, private property, you can't just be where you wantever to be". [Note - Yes, that's EXACTLY what it says.]
He has had more erudite selves.
Then I heard her voice calling out from the street - "Grandfather?". My hand leapt to the manipulator and I got out of there in a shot. That is a conversation I am not ready for yet!
The Many Faces of River's Sweetie
One: Grumpy Rude. Hangs out with teachers - boring! And the worst taste in hats. I missed the fez.
Two: Fun, but wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Offered to show me "this cool place on Telos", but I saw right through that (And I hope he chokes on that recorder). [Note - no mention of hats? FOR SHAME.]
Three: Now we're talking! Hair like a lion. Velvet and frills. Amazing gourmand. We had a lot to talk about. [Note - Gourmand. In short, it's someone who takes great pleasure in food.]
Four: Good hair. Good hat. He has fourteen of those scarves. All the same. They take up a whole room all to themselves.
Page Seven
Five: Very sweet but strangely short-tempered. Also obsessed with some place called the Eye of Harmony. A nightclub? [Note: The Eye of Harmony. Strange how River claims the Fifth Doctor is obsessed by it, since it's only mentioned in The Deadly Assassin - a 4th Doctor story - and the TV movie.
Six: I fear this was the payoff to all those conversations with Three. He was aiming for my hair and fell some way short. Also, is that what it looks like when you put clowns through a wood chipper?
Seven: Surprisingly Scottish! Always thinks big. Would have loved to have gotten my hands on that jumper - and thrown it into the nearest supernova.
Eight: Velvet and frills again? So passé. But oh my word - GREAT DIGS! Got lost in the cloisters one afternoon - could have sword I heard some American begging to be let out.
Nine: Leather jacket. Funny accent. Big ears. And don't mention the war!
NOTE: Need to buy more mnemosine recall-wipe vapour. Can't keep hopping into my sweetie's life without it! [Note: this appears to essentially be retcon pills from Torchwood, albeit in a gas form. This is the first time it appears in Doctor Who lore, so... first?]
Page Eight[Note - two sections of this page are crossed out with a black marker and are illegible - you'll know them when I get to them. There's also two lines of text that are grey and blend into the page. I'll put those in spoiler tags. Finally, there's also a paragraph that's been crossed out, but is still just about legible. I'll cross that one out.]
The Discovery of the Eternity Clock
Found an old ship just floating in space, where no ship should be. Edge of the ||||||stern. Strange readings fr||||||
I'm having the weirdest day. I can remember waking up, but then... What? This is the tenth day of the expedition and we're no closer to finding the wreck. We check the scanners again and again but the space here is just... empty.
Not empty. We just can't see it. It keeps moving.
I keep standing by the viewscreen as if expecting to see something.
I did see it. A vast hulk - like no ship I'd seen before. Huge, black like oil. It sucked in the starlight. And in its heart, something burning. A furnace? But ticking Energies so
I wonder how long we'll wait before we give up, turn around and head home?
I don't want to find it again.
Page Nine
River's Bestiary
Spiders, Metebelis Three: Who likes spiders, right? What about eight foot spiders with voices like mice being minced. KILLED MY BELOVED. Not to be trifled with. Bring rolled-up newspaper.
Zygons: Unbelievably ugly. They look like an octopus mated with Humpty Dumpty (They do not respond well to "What's up, suckers?"). But on the plus side, they have their own pet Loch Ness Monster!
Pakhar: Hamster people. Let me... Just... Hamster. People.
Onelorvians: Tortoise people. More intimidating than the Pakhar, due to guns and complete willingness to use them. Planetary anthem has 185 verses, each of them terrible.
Raxacoricofalapatorians: Fat slimy baby-faced aliens. They try to tell you that the worst of their race were wiped out with the Slitheen facily line, but don't believe them. They're all foul.
The Ballad of Jim the Fish
Anteria XVI Cordabane dig site. Day 65
Page Ten
This has been the most tedious excavation ever. I never thought it would end. But today. Oh, today.
Jim would find this hilarious if he were here. There was this one time - 48th Century, I think, in a bar run by the Brotherhood of Maldovar - my sweetheart took Jim and me out for karaoke. I don't remember much, it was all a blur - but I do remember "Islands in the Stream" and the video recorder. We lost the tape afterwards. Never even gave it a second's thought, I don't think.
Til today. We just unearthed a series of paintings on huge sandstone slabs. We're not totally sure how they were formed - but that's him, that's Jim the Fish, in that suit, in that hair, singing that song. Gills flaring. Teeth sparkling under the glitterball.
Each tablet seems to represent a different line in the song. There are symbols, and Sissibeth says he's seen something like them before. He reads the words "peace unknown", "tender love", "dedication"... We think these people built some sort of religion of love around the images. Oh Jim!
I'm just grateful that the parts of the video featuring me don't seem to be represented. But we're still digging...
They should have made this with Sutekh Mask as a swappable head or just keep it as only a masked head and not bother with the ugly donkey head everyone hated! Seriously his mask was one of the best costume designs on the shows history and they didn't include it! I'm pissed cos I rly wanted a figure of Sutekh but I figured the makers would put the frigging mask on!
And no-one commented on River's Diary? Seriously, I spent like an hour on that! Man...
I'd been avoiding it because of spoilers. But it seems to be spoiler free for the most part. Actually better than I thought it'd be.
In other news, they're making a limited edition version of series 7 part 1 this year. It has the formerly US only Science of Doctor who documentary on it. Plus, all versions come with an episode of Doctor Who confidentialThe making of Gunslinger.
Oh, and they all come with ultra-violet digital copies too, which is nice.
Given how most of them were nothing-y and a few even contradicted the episodes themselves (I'm looking at you, The Satan Pit), I highly doubt it. That's like wanting Totally Doctor Who! to get a DVD release.
Relatively huge news of the day; DWM apparently announced that Big Finish will be working with AudioGo to do a new story for every Doctor next year, including Nine, Ten, and Eleven.
RELATIVELY? We're getting a new Christopher Eccleston story - an AUDIO story, no less, suggesting the man himself might be in it - and that's only RELATIVELY huge?
He probably won't - they'll probably get Noel Clarke in and do it like a Companion Chronocle, seeing as they've worked in the past. Same for Eleven, they'll probably just bring in Arthur Darvill.
I don't know why, but I always thought of Luxana as one of those Time Lords on the Council. It's the pretension, I think. Especially every time she launches into her "Fifth Daughter of the House of Whatjimacallit, bearer or the vase of thingamabob" spiel.
It's called "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS" and is written by Steve Thompson (writer of Curse of the Black Spot and Sherlock's The Reichenbach Fall) Right now, it's scheduled at Episode 10 of the series (including the Christmas Special), but Moffat apparently has worked the series in a way they can rearrange it in any order aside from the starter and finale.
I don't remember if I shared it here but Neil Gaiman's writing Episode 13 (the pre-finale) as well.
It's called "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS" and is written by Steve Thompson (writer of Curse of the Black Spot and Sherlock's The Reichenbach Fall)
I'm... wary. Sounds like they're going to actually explore the TARDIS, judging by the title. Not 100% on that.
But its soo huge! there was even a pool and we only got to see that in the invasion of time. There would be a lot of interesting stuff to see inside it. Also the title rocks.
From a story telling perspective, it doesn't inspire confidence. Remember how break-neck the pace is in modern stories? They don't really have the time to do anything other than a cursory glance at a secondary console room before the monster of the week chases them down those bloody time corridors.
D'ya... d'ya see what I did there?
Don't get me wrong - it's always cool to see more of the TARDIS, and I'll definitely look forward to seeing that aspect. I just worry about the story. I don't want another repeat of The Adventure Games, y'know?
Journey to the centre of the Tardis is a pants name for an episode. Sure, it's a parody of the Jules Verne novel (presumably), but it's too long, and doesn't sound doctor who-y.
Wow, that sounded nerdy.
I just hope that the tardis interior still looks like random corridors and rooms from around the bbc tv centre. I think there's a lot of potential to be had (Like them finding the wardrobe, and Matt donning the famous scarf. Maybe then they'll officially start selling the darn (or should I say yarn?) thing! But I'm not sure how they can really make a decent story out of it besides "We're lost!". Not that that's a decent story.
I don't know, the last story that was any kind of Tardis-centric episode was The Doctor's Wife, and that was pretty great overall. I think they could do something good in there. Not to mention that episode titles don't always give the most accurate impression of what the episode is about (for an example, see the first sentence of this post)
Sooo... what kind of running-around-inside-the-TARDIS strory is this going to be?
1) "The Invasion of Time" - wandering round and round and getting lost
2) "The Enemy Within" (not the one that was filmed) - the Doctor goes to confront the great evil at the heart of the TARDIS
3) "Heart of TARDIS" - deep in the TARDIS there is access to the nebulous realms from whcih you can get back to the TARDIS but in the past, and so potentially meet past Doctors
4) One of Tom Baker's ideas - all the old Doctors still live in the bowels of the TARDIS ins ome way,shape or form.
Epic Rap Battles of History: Doc Brown vs. Doctor Who http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDj7gvc_dsA&feature=g-u-u
They don't seem to have totally wrapped their head around the concept of Doctor Who, but it's still pretty funny. He also really got David Tennant's mannerisms down pretty well, if not his voice.

Surely it'd have to be Lxanana as a Slitheen?
I don't know why, but I always thought of Luxana as one of those Time Lords on the Council. It's the pretension, I think. Especially every time she launches into her "Fifth Daughter of the House of Whatjimacallit, bearer or the vase of thingamabob" spiel.
It really shouldn't have taken me this long to get that joke. Time to get the boxsets out again I think!
Also, The master and Q. That is all.
