The twelfth and final release of the third season of Big Finish ?s Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles range can now be announced. Strictly speaking, this special release doesn?t actually feature any of the Doctor?s companions.

Recording took place in September, and both actors were thrilled by Lane's script, which stays true to the wit and imagination of Robert Holmes and finds the amateur sleuths on the trail of another mystery in Victorian London. ?It was very good script indeed,? said Christopher Benjamin after the recording. ?Andy Lane obviously knew the character ...

She?s back ? and it?s about gin! Created by novelist Paul Magrs, Iris Wildthyme , transtemporal adventuress returns in four new audio adventures across time and space. Bracing the temporal winds in her trusty bus and accompanied by the ever-loyal Panda (a ten inch tall stuffed bear), Iris travels from the depths of space to the gates of Wonderland and beyond. Iris and Panda will bamboozle and befuddle a host of new friends and enemies while always having time to mix a sharp Gin and Tonic. For Iris Wildthyme, closing time waits for no woman?

There he meets a woman who is just a few minutes old. She is a Tracer, sent into our Universe by her makers to locate the six segments of the Key to Time .
