Doctor Who: The Wedding of River Song - Synopsis

The BBC have published the press details for The Wedding of River Song, the final episode of this year's Doctor Who series, which is written by Steven Moffat.

As the Doctor makes his final journey to the shores of Lake Silencio in Utah, he knows only one thing can keep the universe safe – his own death – in the concluding episode of this series of the time-travelling drama. But has he reckoned without the love of a good woman?

Doctor Who fans can also enjoy an extra helping of the Time Lord's adventures in a special, one-off mini episode written by schoolchildren in Doctor Who Confidential on BBC Three tonight.

The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Amy by Karen Gillan and Rory by Arthur Darvill.

Doctor Who Confidential will follow the finale, and will include a special mini Doctor Who episode.

As the series finale comes to its dramatic conclusion over on BBC One, Doctor Who Confidential comforts fans with an extra helping of the Time Lord's adventures in a special, one-off mini episode.

In Death Is The Only Answer, the Doctor meets both friend and foe. After managing to distract his enemy with a little-known, age-old, Time Lord weapon – a yo-yo – the Doctor has to help a fellow time-travelling friend get home. But who is he, how did he get in the TARDIS and what's going on with his hair?

The three-minute episode was specially written by children from a school in Basingstoke after they entered a BBC Learning and Doctor Who Confidential competition. Doctor Who Confidential shows how Oakley Junior School's script was developed from page to screen, culminating in their own very special encounter with the Doctor himself...

The episode is currently scheduled to be broadcast at 6.00pm BBC ONE/HD on Saturday 1st October. Doctor Who Confidential will follow at 8.00pm on BBC Three.
