River Song as a companion? Not likely according to Smith

Think River Song would make a good long-term companion for the Doctor? Matt Smith doesn’t think so. In a very brief article in The Sun, the actor currently playing the Doctor says, “I think River’s too independent to ever be a full-time companion. That’s what makes River great as a character. The companions and The Doctor are doing their thing, then whoosh – in comes the hair. It just messes The Doctor up.”
