Project: Wildthyme – new short story by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright

Iris-15
Iris 15, cover by the talented Mark Manley

Good old Iris Wildthyme is 15 this year – well, the Doctor Who version at least. Obverse Book is publishing a special anniversary collection and as producers of the Big Finish Iris Wildthyme audio dramas, Mark Wright and I were asked to contribute.

The blurb on the Obverse Books website is short and sweet:

A fifteenth anniversary collection of Iris Wildthyme stories, featuring all sorts of Irises in all sorts of adventures – and don’t forget Panda!

The idea was different stories, all featuring different incarnations of the lady herself. Our story features the usual Big Finish team of Iris and Panda as played by Katy Manning and David Benson. When thinking about what we wanted to do, we toyed about the idea of teaming the old soak up with our other usual Big Finish team, a certain black-ops organisation known as the Forge.

The result is ‘Project: Wildthyme’, perhaps one of the most leopard-skinned adventures for shady old Department C4.
