wonderful

Another excellent story, with an exceptional cast and great sound design. Love the addition of Leela.

Jago, Litefoot, and Leela

The third series of Jago and Litefoot adventures adds Leela (reuniting the trio from The Talons of Weng Chiang). Time anachronisms are appearing around London and Leela has been sent to find the source. She immediately gains the two old friends and the adventures begin.

Another great collection!

Big Finish does it again! Another great collection for the Doctor Who spin-off characters Henry Jago and Professor Lightfoot. Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter are entertaining as always. And the incorporation of the character of Leela from the original Talons of Weng-Chiang storyline back in the 1970’s was a brilliant choice. Louise Jameson is a fantastic actress who knows her character well and brings a new dimension to the series. The writers also stepped it up and deliver us another great set of stories, a nice mix of stories different from one another but with an over-arching story arc to tie them together. I particularly enjoyed Swan Song by John Dorney which I think is one of his best. And the teaser at the end made me smile when I heard who would be joining next series. No spoilers, you will have to listen to find out.

Jago, Litefoot, and Leela!

Another fun Victorian romp with Jago and Litefoot. Now joined by 4th Doctor companion Leela, who's arrived to help them save the world and Time itself!
