The Doll of Death was the eleventh release in the Companion Chronicles audio range. It was the third story of season 3. It was written by Marc Platt and featured Jo Grant.
Publisher's summary
A new adventure with the Third Doctor as told by his companion, Jo Grant.
“Retrocausation! Events before their cause. Time in reverse.”
While investigating a temporal anomaly in Central London, the Doctor and Jo Grant meet Professor Harold Saunders, a man who possesses an unstable alien artefact, and who is seemingly haunted by the ghosts of dolls.
Who is the mysterious Mrs Killebrew? Why is a pack of hounds hunting them in reverse? And can Jo pick up any bargains while backwards shopping on Oxford Street?
