The Green Man was the second story in the audio anthology James Robert McCrimmon, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Paul F Verhoeven and featured Michael Troughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Emma Noakes as Raven.

Publisher's summary

Perched hundreds of miles above the forest canopy of Florestus Prime, The Grove rehabilitation centre promises to help the staggeringly rich of the galaxy cheat death. When a reunited Doctor and Jamie are despatched by Raven to investigate the disappearance of a Time Lord, they are greeted by Chief of Medicine, Overseer Fuller.

Watching from his room at The Grove, an incapacitated Doctor helplessly observes the facility from afar. Who is the lone patient waving from across the courtyard? Why is Overseer Fuller doing rounds late at night when the Grove appears to have no other patients? And what precisely does Raven know about the 'Green Man'?

Plot

Part one

After completing various dangerous missions, the Doctor and Jamie ask Raven for a holiday and are sent to the Grove, a rehabilitation centre on Florestus Prime from which the Time Lord Tanerus has gone missing. Raven infects the Doctor with Jayklin venom to allow him to pose as a patient and Jamie as his carer and they are welcomed to the centre by the forgetful Overseer Fuller, who provides the Doctor with an electronic wheelchair and shows the two of them to the deluxe suite.

The pair decide to prolong their stay at the Grove by neglecting to begin their search for Tanerus until morning, but Jamie wakes the Doctor up when he is unable to sleep and they see Fuller outside with a green man. The Doctor, waking up from a nightmare about his next incarnation over an hour later, takes photographs of the green man in a room opposite which he and Jamie spot four tropical plants and medical equipment.

In the morning, Jamie notices that one of the plants has disappeared and theorises that the green man has been killed and buried, something which they cannot investigate until nightfall. In the meantime, Jamie searches the building, finding no other patients in residence. The Doctor, at midnight, sends Jamie outside with a trowel and walkie-talkie to dig up the courtyard in search of a body whilst he observes the motion sensors to ensure that he is not caught. Instead of a body, he finds a seed pod and the Doctor realises that the green man must be a Krynoid.

Part two

Deducing that the other patients have been devoured by the Krynoid, the Doctor decides to return to the TARDIS with Jamie to recover before going after it, only to suddenly change his mind and send Jamie to survey the building once more. Fuller locates Jamie thanks to a listening device and the Krynoid attacks him, after which Fuller locks the Doctor, whom he knows to be a Time Lord, in his suite to await his arrival.

When Fuller arrives at the suite, he tells the Doctor that he found the seed pod when it crashed onto Florestus Prime and has been having the Krynoid absorb patients and their diseases in the hopes of using it to create an incurable super virus. He intends to add the power of regenerate by having the Doctor absorbed, but the Doctor reveals that he adapted his and Jamie's subdermal resonators to allow them to communicate telepathically whilst making physical contact, helping them trick Fuller into thinking they were unaware of him being in the Krynoid's thrall.

  • This marked the first audio story to feature the Krynoids since Hothouse. It also marked the Doctor's earliest chronological encounter with them, with the Fourth Doctor already familiar with them in The Seeds of Doom.
  • The Third Doctor appears in a flashback sequence of previous missions.
