A Victorian Interlude is a Brief Encounter short story published in Doctor Who Magazine. It features Henry Jago and George Litefoot in their first appearance in any medium since they made their debut in TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang in 1977.
Summary
With giant rats still roaming the sewers of Victorian London, Henry Gordon Jago and George Litefoot realise that someone must deal with the creatures and intend to do it themselves using their newly-acquired Gatling gun. As the pair leave the public house where they have been discussing their forthcoming task, as well as wishing the Doctor was still around to help, Litefoot bumps into a stranger dressed as a cricketer, to whom he apologises before departing.
Characters
References
- Litefoot bumps into the Fifth Doctor, but does not recognise him due to his regeneration. (TV: Logopolis)
Notes
- Andy Lane would later write four Big Finish audio dramas featuring Jago and Litefoot: AUDIO: The Mahogany Murderers, AUDIO: The Similarity Engine, AUDIO: The Ruthven Inheritance and AUDIO: Chronoclasm.
Continuity
- Jago and Litefoot talk about their recent adventure with the Fourth Doctor and discuss exterminating the giant rats remaining in the sewers. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
- As Lee Brimmicombe-Wood's illustration depicts the Fifth Doctor in the original version of his costume, i.e. that he wore from TV: Castrovalva to TV: Warriors of the Deep, this story could take place at any time between these adventures.
