The Red Lady was the second audio story in the anthology Doom Coalition 1. It starred Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, Nicola Walker as Liv Chenka and introduced Hattie Morahan as new companion Helen Sinclair.
Publisher's summary
An anomaly in time brings the Doctor and Liv to London in the 1960s, where they meet a young lady named Helen Sinclair — desperately trying to make a name for herself in the face of sexism and prejudice.
Whilst the Doctor tried to uncover the secrets of a mysterious artefact, a far deadlier mystery awaits Liv and Helen in the collection of a recently deceased antiquarian.
Because that's where they find the Red Lady. Because if you do, you might not like what you see.
