- You may be looking for the BBV audio story of the same name.
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. They 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.
