In fact, Tennant, a fan since childhood, is so passionate he has returned to the series twice – first in 2013 for the show's 50th anniversary, and then again for the 60th in 2023, in which he played a new incarnation of the Time Lord, the Fourteenth Doctor.
The story in question was Kingston's first as River Song, and aired in 2008, as part of Tennant's last full season. He would go on to star in a series of specials the following year, before his regeneration was broadcast on New Year's Day 2010.
Speaking with the Oxford Mail, Kingston was asked whether she knew she was going to be in the role of River for a long time at that point.

I don't think he ever wanted to stop playing the Doctor, as he loved it so much.
"Whereas with Matt [Smith], he was about to start, and was looking for that support to help him step into David's very huge shoes, enormous feet!"
That episode, 2015 Christmas special The Husbands of River Song, is the final time she has appeared in the series on screen to date, although she has reprised her role as River for multiple Big Finish audio dramas, including an upcoming story with Arthur Darvill's Rory.
