Professor George Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago return in the first of Big Finish’s audio novels for 2025, Paul Morris’ The Lord of Misrule, narrated by Jon Culshaw.

The pair had their own adventures for Big Finish also appeared in The Fourth Doctor Adventures: The Justice of Jalxar, where they teamed up with Tom Baker’s Doctor and Mary Tamm’s Romana.

The Lord of Misrule brings that same quartet of characters back together, as producer David Richardson explains: “One of the joys of The Audio Novels is that they allow us to explore avenues which are tragically closed off. I absolutely loved working with both Mary Tamm and Trevor Baxter at Big Finish, and losing both of them was a great tragedy.

“We had such fun making The Justice of Jalxar, and I would have loved to make more full-cast adventures with the Fourth Doctor, the First Romana, Jago and Litefoot. So The Lord of Misrule is a tribute to them and the happy times we had together, so beautifully written by Paul Morris and performed by the glorious Jon Culshaw.”

In 1901, something strange haunts the streets of London. A mysterious carriage appears from nowhere and seems to spirit away the unwary. But to where? When Romana is taken by the carriage, the Doctor teams up with that other redoubtable pair, Jago and Litefoot, to find her. Their investigations lead them to discover an alien plot that could alter history. And before the Doctor can stop it, he must first save his friend…

Jon Culshaw said: “I loved revisiting Jago and Litefoot. Since The Talons of Weng-Chiang, they’ve become known as such a force, such a team. The absolute charm of them – their great friendship, their warmth, their rapport, their knockabout energy, their mischief – they’re a beautiful double act, almost a Victorian Morecambe and Wise.”

Doctor Who – The Audio Novels: The Lord of Misrule has a running time of around six hours and is now available to pre-order as a digital download for just £19.99, exclusively from http://www.bigfinish.com.
