Granted, LIEFELD is usually better than this so that's a low bar, but Buckingham is usually good.

*5 minutes later*
'Ah, River, been a long time.' 'It was five minutes, Sweetie.' 'For you. For me, it was, ah...*counts* 50 years? No, 60. Anyway. Had a lovely time with Amy and Rory. They adopted the cutest little boy. We should do that sometime...' *climbs into the Tardis, leaving River exasperated*
Conversely...he could borrow River's Vortex Manipulator, since it apparently doesn't have any issues with the time mess that's keeping the Tardis out.
For Rory's dad (and Amy's parents, presumably), and their human friends? Sad, sad, sad. For the Doctor (and River)...not so much.

There is, however, one thing I can think of that allows their predicament to make any sense: Rory killed himself b/c the Angels would always keep coming after him. The Doctor couldn't get the Ponds out b/c the angels would come after them no matter where & when they were. (Which... is also terribly wonky.)

Just the challenge of trying to avoid crossing his own path, and messing with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart when that becomes an option, should be plenty of entertainment. (Maybe 'borrowing' his TARDIS during some of the adventures in the 60s, 70s and 80s if he still manages to get bored. 'You're stealing the TARDIS?' 'BORROWING!' 'I'm sure that's what you said the first time you stole it.' 'Well, yes, but still, I know I bring it back this time, don't I?' 'This is a fixed point in time?' '... Yes.' 'Doctor?' '... Well, maybe.' '... Doctor.' '... Well, no, but just come on, there were Daleks this time, and they were REALLY angry.')

Keep a hanky handy, and the fact it wasn't filmed is a crime against television.

Sarah-Jane "I do a little research sometimes."
Clyde - "What do you google, TARDIS?"
Sarah-Jane - "Hey, it works! Well, no, I can't be sure but - there's a woman called Tegan, in Australia, fighting for Aboriginal rights, there's Ben and Polly, in India, running an orphanage there, oh - there was Harry. Oh, I loved Harry - he was a doctor, he did such good work with vaccines, he saved thousands of lives - oh and there's a Dorothy something, she runs that company A Charitable Earth, she's raised billions. And this couple in Cambridge, both professors; Ian and Barbara Chesterton. Rumour has it they've never aged, not since the sixties.... I wonder."
All that and a mention of Dr Shaw being busy on UNIT's moonbase. :)
Certainly Ace's fate there is a lot more reassuring than what the books/comics did, what with her being dead, or some sort of timestream-riding geek-fantasy "bad girl with a gun"*, or a Time Lord 2.0
* Though if you ever get a chance, try to get Sohpie Aldred to tell her stories about the day they took these photo's for the "New Adventures" book series, they're a hoot! :)
