(4.5 out of 5); The Diary of River Song: Series 5 is another great installment in The Diary of River Song series. It's one of the only box sets in the River Song line to feature four completely stand-alone stories; there is no overarching plotline that links these stories together. They really are just four, completely separate adventures featuring River and four different incarnations of the Master. It's a lot of fun hearing Alex Kingston's River Song interact with four of the most iconic Masters currently working with Big Finish Productions, and each of those actors perfectly recreates their incarnation of the villain in adventures that are perfectly suited for them. I thoroughly enjoyed this box set and I'm looking forward to the next releases from Missy, River Song, and the War Master. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

- The Bekdel Test is set in an inescapable prison and features great repartee between River and Missy. Also a LOT of jump scares with gunshots.
- Animal Instinct is a bloodthirsty tale with Geoffrey Beevers playing the Master in the vein of Roger Delgado or Anthony Ainley. A good choice for this story. For some reason, the creatures on the abandoned planet gave me some Ray Bradbury vibes, specifically the story “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed”.
- The Lifeboat and the Deathboat had an interesting twist and an amusing 80s vibe, although strictly speaking, the Eric Roberts Master, who appears in this story, was from 1996 (when the TV movie was released).
- Concealed Weapon features Sir Derek Jacobi playing a delightfully waspish and fussy Master.
I liked this set very well, but I did find that by the fourth story, it was kind of predictable that the newcomer with two hearts was going to be the Master and not the Doctor, as River kept thinking. Having all these Master stories in a row made it look like River was carrying the idiot ball a bit. So if you’re picking up this set, I’d recommend putting more space between each story. ( )
