Jago & Litefoot return for 40th Anniversary of first Doctor Who appearance

By Cameron K McEwan

Two of Doctor Who’s most loved friends of the Time Lord are back to celebrate their 40th anniversary with some exciting new audio adventures from Big Finish.

Henry Gordon Jago and Professor Litefoot first appeared in the classic story, The Talons of Weng-Chiang back in 1977. Set in Victorian England, the two gentlemen became close chums when fighting Magnus Greel (aka Weng-Chiang) with the Fourth Doctor and Leela.

Played by Trevor Baxter and Christopher Benjamin, the actors return to their roles once more for new adventures.

All titles are initially available exclusively from the Big Finish website.

You can find the details and artwork of the new Jago & Litefoot releases below.

JAGO & LITEFOOT – SERIES 13

Four brand new stories featuring the investigators of infernal incidents, in one box set.

Someone from the future has arrived in Victorian London on the trail of a renegade... but that trail leads them to Henry Gordon Jago and Professor Litefoot.

So begins an adventure that will propel the Infernal Investigators into unknown territory, and an encounter with two people they should avoid at all costs.

Themselves.
