SYPNOSIS
The night River Song is imprisoned in Stormcage for killing the Eleventh Doctor, she receives a visit from her husband to take herout on their first date. Things get complicated when another River arrives.
NOTES
First of a two-part story, concluded in Last Night.
This is the shortest of the Night and the Doctor to feature The Doctor, coming in at 2 minutes and 15 seconds. The shortest overall is Up All Night, which is just under 2 minutes.
This is also the only Night and the Doctor short to feature scenes both inside and outside of the TARDIS (aside from the view of the exterior side of the door at the end of Good Night).
The footage of the TARDIS flying through the solar storm is originally from The Rebel Flesh.
This is the first Night and the Doctor story to feature an enemy, the Sontarans, although they are not seen onscreen. Interestingly, the other two to feature villains (Last Night and Up All Night, featuring the Sontarans and the Cybermen, respectively) also have their alien threat unseen.
