'Hello, sweetie!' Melody Pond, Melody Malone, River Song...She has
had many names. Whoever she really is, this archaeologist and time
traveller has had more adventures (and got into more trouble) than
most people in the universe. And she's written a lot of it down.
Well, when you're married to a Time Lord (or possibly not), you
have to keep track of what you did and when. Especially as it may
not actually have happened to both of you yet. These are just a few
of River Song's exploits, extracted from her journals. Sometimes,
she is with the Doctor. Sometimes she's on her own. But wherever
and whenever she may be, she is never far from danger and
excitement. This is just a tiny portion of her impossible life. But
it will reveal more than you've ever known about the legend that is
River Song.

Max and Tom are old, old friends, who used to be actors. Tom now
owns a jazz nightclub called Deadbeat which, as well as being their
source of income, is also something of an in-joke. In a churchyard
one night they see men loading a coffin into the back of a van.
But, why take a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more
importantly, why is the occupant still breathing? Tom and Max are
on the case.
River Song has many ways to amuse herself away from her husband.

of Time by John Dorney. The capital has been evacuated. Monsters
stalk the Underground. For River, it’s the perfect opportunity to
steal a priceless artwork, so long as she can avoid looters,
soldiers and an alien invasion. With the gallant Captain Knight at

her biggest challenge may be keeping time itself on track. Peepshow
by Guy Adams. Miniscope parts fetch quite a price on the open
market – luckily, River knows where she can find one that’s

Earthlings. River must face a carnival of monsters before she can
claim her prize – across miniature habitats, Ogrons, Sontarans
and Drashigs await! The Talents of Greel by Paul Morris. River
visits Victorian London on the trail of anachronistic technology.
But when young women are stolen from the streets, she takes a

the only book you'll ever need to find complete happiness.' Because
it's been a bit of a trying time, hasn't it? You now know that your
five-year-old is better at maths than you. And English. And at not
crying during work. And the only way to get through it with a smile
has been to buy all the booze and try to remember how to do 'going
out'. But don't worry, here to paper over all the cracks is a
touching book, full of tender animal friends, pretty pictures and
not too many words. A book for our times - to remind us of the
precious joys of having all the family together, non-stop,
twenty-four hours a day. Owning it will make you happy. Giving it
to other people will make you seem kind. Reading it will remind you
that you're nearly out of gin.

criminals to carry out a high stakes robbery. 1.4 The Thousand Ton

Star Cops. Their leader is Commander Nathan Spring.There are no
Star Cops on Mars, and Nathan Spring intends to put that right. He
travels to the red planet hoping to rally the colonists' support

off. Meanwhile, Devis has his own troubles. An attempt to come to
his friends' rescue goes wrong, and he finds himself at the mercy

more and more monstrosities are born; people with powers and
abilities far beyond those of normal men and women. They call these
people "the Gifted." And Susan has become one of them. Separated

her, Susan finds herself in a prison which has destroyed countless
lives. And at its centre, at its heart, waiting, is the most
dangerous monster of all... 2. The Crumbling Magician by Guy Adams.

not in the best of health anyway, his old body wearing somewhat
thin, is in a coma, Ben unconscious. As for Polly, she's been

and she's seen the future, a future in which she's mortally
wounded. But will Continuity allow her to die? 3. The Vardan
Invasion of Earth by Paul Morris and Ian Atkins. The Doctor and
Steven think they've arrived in London 1956, but the TARDIS

It's the near future, and mankind has expanded its presence in
space. Maintaining law and order among this network of space
stations, satellites and moon outposts is the responsibility of the
International Space Police Force, known colloquially as the Star
Cops. Their leader is Commander Nathan Spring. It's been months
since the last attack by Mother Earth, the activist group opposed
to mankind's expansion into space. It's believed that the group is
finished. But instead, Mother Earth is about to renew its campaign.
This time with even more ferocity and violence. 2.1: Dead and
Buried by Guy Adams. At Lunar Interments, the moon's graveyard for
the wealthy, the caretaker has noticed something odd in the burial
records. Odd enough for him to call in the Star Cops. Devis isn't
happy at being assigned to what he thinks is a mundane case. Not
when Nathan and Kenzy are off to investigate a burglary at the home
of billionaire businessman Ben Alexander. A break-in where the
burglar has finished up dead. But in the lunar resting place of the
dead, Devis will find himself racing against the clock to save his
life and hundreds of others. 2.2: The Killing Jar by John Dorney.
The Charlie Chaplin is a second-hand space station operated as a
space-tourism hub by entrepreneur Martin Thane. When Nathan
receives reports that serious accidents and even a death have been
caused by Thane flouting safety laws, he decides to investigate. An
accident investigation soon becomes a murder enquiry. And as the
Star Cops hunt for the killer, the station becomes a death trap
threatening everyone on board. 2.3: Moonshine by Roland Moore. A
friend of Kenzy's on the space station Coral Sea has been dismissed
for possession of alcohol and sent back to Earth. She believes his
claim that he was framed, and when she learns of his subsequent
suicide she and Devis travel to Australia to investigate. A
difficult enquiry is not helped when Kenzy's former fiance, a
Police Superintendent, appears on the scene. On Moonbase, Nathan is
expecting an official visit from a powerful dignitary. So it's not
a good time for there to be a fatal incident that may be the work
of Mother Earth. 2.4: Hostage by Andrew Smith. The Star Cops are
under intense pressure in the face of continuing Mother Earth
attacks. The very existence of the International Space Police Force
is in jeopardy. Kenzy and Priya are responding to a murderous
Mother Earth explosion at a moon outpost when one of the workers,
Mary Ward, takes a hostage and makes demands, accusing others of
trying to kill her. She appears to have snapped under pressure. As
the crisis develops, dangerous secrets are revealed. Secrets that
some will be prepared to kill for. And die for. Star Cops debuted
on BBC2 in 1987, the brainchild of Doctor Who and Blake's 7 writer
Chris Boucher, aimed as a police procedural set in the new frontier
of commercialised space exploration. Several new characters have
been created for these fresh Star Cops adventures, with Priya Basu
played by Eastenders regular Rakhee Thakra. CAST: David Calder
(Nathan Spring / Box), Trevor Cooper (Colin Devis), Linda Newton
(Pal Kenzy), Rakhee Thakrar (Priya Basu), Philip Olivier (Paul
Bailey), Nimmy March (Shayla Moss), Andrew Fettes (Mac Thirwell),

Theodore Gallow), William Gaminara (Godfrey Miller),Sarah Sutton
