The Quintessence was the story comprising the fourteenth release in The Third Doctor Adventures, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle and featured Tim Treloar as the Third Doctor and Katy Manning as Jo Jones.
Publisher's summary
The Doctor and Jo Jones arrive at 'Always', a Victorian manor house perched impossibly on the distant storm-world of Nethara Reach.
Greeted by the peculiar Pepperdines, a couple frantic with worry about their ailing daughter, they discover terrible secrets hiding within the panelled walls and gruesome oil paintings.
Secrets that will bring the Doctor face to face with one of his most ancient and implacable enemies, and put his relationship with Jo to the ultimate test.
Plot
Part one
Jo finds herself outside of Always, a large manor house, with the young Emmeline Pepperdine, who claims that they are old friends and leads her to the house. Emmeline advises Jo to ignore the feeling that they are being followed and to instead count the house's crenellations and windows and their footsteps until they are inside. There, Emmeline leads Jo to a room and tells her to find her, saying "X4 G9 47 6D 52". Jo wakes up in the TARDIS and tells the Doctor about her dream and the numbers, which he discovers are the coordinates of the uninhabited Nethara Reach which is beset by an electrical storm which has lasted 10,000 years. Despite this, they find Always and are given refuge by Emmeline's parents, Arthur and Lucy, the latter of whom asks the Doctor to examine her.
