Jo Grant appears on Big Finish in a new Companion Chronicle, Find and Replace, encountering not only Iris Wildthyme (a disreputable Time Lady who is also played by Katy Manning) but also Huxley, one of the Novelisors of Verbatim Six (who previously appeared in Ringpullworld, a Turlough Companion Chronicle from earlier this year). Being an Iris story it is by Paul Magrs, and as often with his stories I found it a slightly mixed bag - some really wonderful character moments for both Jo and Iris, and lovely nods to nostalgia, but the plot a little confused and the means and motivation for, of all people, the Third Doctor not really satisfying. It would not really be penetrable for listeners unfamiliar with Iris as a character. ( )
