In 2010, Doctor Who’s own Henry Gordon Jago (Christopher Benjamin) and Professor George Litefoot (Trevor Baxter) embarked on a series of brand new adventures for Big Finish, solving mysteries involving paranormal and supernatural phenomena in Victorian London, with assistance from barmaid Ellie Higson (Lisa Bowerman) and the dependable Sergeant Quick (Conrad Asquith). Over seven years, they racked up a total of thirteen series plus assorted extra adventures.  

In June 2021, four freshly-minted fictions for the Infernal Investigators will be released, featuring secret organisations, undercover arms of the law, fanciful parties and a Christmas pantomime to remember. Originally scripted as full-cast audio dramas, these tales have been adapted into audiobooks, each to be performed by a single voice actor, due to the great Trevor Baxter’s sad passing in 2017.   

The performers are Christopher Benjamin (Doctor Who, The Avengers), Lisa Bowerman (Bernice Summerfield, Casualty), Jamie Newall (Sherlock Holmes, The Eighth Doctor Adventures) and Duncan Wisbey (Torchwood, Iris Wildthyme).

The Laughing Policeman by Jonathan Barnes, adapted by Julian Richards

A Command Performance by Justin Richards and Julian Richards, adapted by Julian Richards  

It’s time for the Christmas Day pantomime at the New Regency Theatre. Jago’s more stressed than usual.

They’re dead.
