Appearance

Interior

The kitchen. (WC: Return of the Autons)

The kitchen consisted of black cabinets with white surface tops, with various ingredients and items such as a kettle adorning the surface. There was an "island" and an oven, and there was a shelf with various personal items placed on top as well as a painting on the wall depicting a swimming pool. There was also a double glass door leading directly into the garden.

Towards the front of the house there was a wall in the kitchen with postcards attached, and on the surface top, various items were placed including paperwork and a box of Quality Street chocolates. A hallway connected the kitchen to the front door, and on the left there was a rack of coats, shoes on the floor and on a mini-cabinet. There were scooters, and photos of Jo and the Third Doctor.

The front

Jo Jones' home possessed mock-Tudor gables, with the brickwork being constructed out of red bricks. There was a garage attached to the semi-detached house, with various species of trees adding a look of life to it. Other items outside the home included wheelie bins and plant pots.

History

During the early 2020s, Clifford came into the home bringing a plastic daffodil, that unbeknownst to him, was of Auton origin. Upon seeing it, Jo had a vivid flashback of when she was suffocating, and she raced outside to see a deadly group of carnival mask wearing Autons. One opened fire, and Jo and Cliff ran.

Shortly after, Cliff had tried in vain to contact UNIT for their assistance, but Jo had already defeated the Autons by jamming the Nestene's signals with the twins' Hip-hop music. (WC: Return of the Autons)

The fateful fire

In 2028, Jo Jones died in a house fire in her old age. (PROSE: Carpenter/Butterfly/Baronet) When Newton Calder recalled her "ghost" on Zayin Eight in the distant future, Jo recalled that the last thing she remembered was being at home. (AUDIO: The Mists of Time)

Factual records of Jo's death were retained by the year 2040, and when the Third Doctor and Jo Grant arrived in that year, it was suspected that Jo could've been a particularly malicious terrorist who stole the iris patterns of an old woman. (PROSE: Carpenter/Butterfly/Baronet)

Behind the scenes

While most stories generally accept that Jo Grant lived a happy life with Clifford, some accounts posited that instead that the couple divorced, after having children together. The children lived with Jo, in a two-bedroom house.
