Doctor Who: 5 Things Season 8 Must Avoid

2. River Song

It is without a shadow of a doubt, or with any remorse that I say that River Song is the character I hate the most in the Doctor Who universe. There's something about her that just gets under my skin, and not only is it because he's inherently annoying, but it's the fact that she just kept on turning up. Particularly at times where you just didn't want her to. Far too often was River used as a deus ex machina in the plot; she'd gone from a cleverly written mind-bending plotline in terms of her origins, to just another catchphrase-laden sideshow who just happened to be integral to seemingly everything going on with the Doctor at the time. If she was used sparingly, perhaps she'd be a much more appreciated character, but at the minute, I truly hope we see the absolute minimum of her whilst Capaldi has the screwdriver... Sweetie.
