Phoenix Court was a council estate in Newton Aycliffe which was home to Big Sue, Maddy Sharp, and Nesta. After being born from the leg of the Doctor in the Obverse, Icarus flew to Phoenix Court in the universe of the Eighth Doctor, where he was adopted by Maddy Sharp.
During a winter in the 1990s, Maddy, Nesta, and Big Sue left Phoenix Court with Icarus and met Iris Wildthyme and the Owls. (PROSE: The Blue Angel)
Residences[[edit] | [edit source]]
Mark and Sam's flat[[edit] | [edit source]]
Mark and Sam Kelley owned a flat in Phoenix Court together, which they brought their daughter Sally up in. (NC: Marked for Life) After Sally's kidnapping and the subsequent life complexities, Mark stayed in the flat by himself, and Sally came to see him on weekends. (NC: Does It Show?, Could It Be Magic?)
Number sixteen[[edit] | [edit source]]
Number sixteen was a residence in Phoenix Court reasonably close to a play park.[1] (NC: Could It Be Magic?) It belonged to Liz until she ran away with a "handsome bus driver". It was then inherited by Liz's daughter, Penny, who then shared it with Andy. The pair of them ran the house as a community place, allowing anyone to come and go as they pleased. (NC: Does It Show?)
Multiple parties and gatherings were thrown there, notably including the night Liz returned home, only to be beat up by a gang and left in the snow. On that night, Mark Kelley had sex with Andy, but the condom broke. This led to Andy fearing he had got AIDS, but Mark tries to reassure him he did not, although he hadn't been tested.
Penny and Elsie's son had sex there multiple times, and began to build a relationship, although it failed. (NC: Could It Be Magic?)
Elsie's house[[edit] | [edit source]]
At Elsie's house in Phoenix Court, her old husband once wrecked the garden. Upon finding this, Elsie threw cans at him until he couldn't move, then brought him up to bed and wouldn't let anyone see him until he died. She was accused of murder but wasn't convicted. Penny subsequently reordered the garden using telekinesis, which made Elsie just as distraught as the original destruction did. (NC: Could It Be Magic?)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Phoenix Court originated in Paul Magrs' book series of the same name, which The Blue Angel partially continues. Along with characters from Phoenix Court appearing in the Doctor's universe, the portions of the book set in the Obverse show a setting similar to that of the Phoenix Court books, with not only Iris Wildthyme as a resident but also mundane versions of various characters from Doctor Who.
