Till Death Us Do Part (audio story)
Till Death Us Do Part was the third and final story in the audio anthology Rogues Gallery, produced by Big Finish Productions. Notably, this story centred on Vastra's wedding to Jenny Flint, previously alluded to in The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50 [+]Loading...["The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50 (audio story)"], and introduced the shapeshifter later known as Doppel-Jenny.
This began a story arc which would not be fully resolved until The Houseguest [+]Loading...["The Houseguest (audio story)"], in which Jenny is replaced by an imposter with nefarious intent.
It was written by Lisa McMullin, and featured Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra, Catrin Stewart as Jenny Flint, Dan Starkey as Strax and Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Jenny has decided she wants a wedding - a real wedding with Vastra, before their family and friends. But the viewing of a dress leads to misunderstandings and confusions, becoming ever more serious. The owner of the dress claims to have been jilted years before by a man both familiar and unfamiliar...the Doctor!
As tempers flare, alien forces are at work - and what's more, there could be a trespasser in Paternoster Row.
