The Skivers: Series 2, Episode 4 (audio story)
The fourth episode of the second series of the BBC Radio 4 sketch comedy audio series The Skivers featured the guest of the week Jon Pertwee playing the Third Doctor during some of the skits.
The novel The Gallifrey Chronicles would later make reference to Jemima-Katy as one of the Doctor's companions thus making this audio part of mainline non-comedic continuity.
