	New Worlds - Wildthyme on Top
		Iris and Tom materialise outside a small shack where an old woman is performing a striptease for a crowd of old men; this is a sterile, puritanical future, and the old are desperately trying to shock the bland young generation.
		Iris takes offence when she learns that they have stolen her personal accessories and planted them on the worlds they intend to conquer, in order to convince the rest of the Universe that she is responsible for the changes to history.
		Iris offers her a chance to escape all that -- but Medea demands to know whether Jason’s story has survived as well, and is infuriated to learn that he’s regarded as a great hero, the star of a story in which she barely appears.

	The Blue Angel
		In the mall, they meet an eccentric young woman named Iris Wildthyme, who doesn’t tell the others that she has been waiting for Ian to arrive; she knows that his real name is Icarus, and that he is the key to what is about to happen.
		She tells him that Fitz and Iris are dead and urges him to return to the TARDIS and depart, but he refuses to do so, and decides to fit her receiver with a filter connected to the TARDIS to ensure that she no longer falls prey to random impulses from the local environment.
		Iris holds off the primitives with her hand blaster, and she and Fitz flee on a pair of horse-like animals presumably also kept here for food.

	Iris Wildthyme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iris Wildthyme is a fictional character best known from spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, appearing mainly in short stories and novels.
		Iris also claims she was raised by a House of Aunts (as opposed to Cousins) in the mountains of southern Gallifrey, and also that she has erased all of her records from the Matrix, explaining why the Time Lords know nothing about her.
		Iris has also argued that her adventures are more "true" than the Doctor's recollections because she writes them in her diaries while the Doctor does not, and there are hints that Iris is aware of her status as a fictional character.

		Iris is used well to look at the Doctor's personality; his less "devil may care" attitude in his Fifth incarnation compared to his Fourth is given a believable rationale as they talk to each other.
		The nun in question is Iris Wildthyme, the trans-temporal Time Lady adventuress and cabaret star, who feels enchanted, remembering her name and that she's traveled time and space in a double decker bus, but the fight in her is gone, and she's trying to find new focus.
		Iris claims the nunnery has humbled her, devoted as she's been to mopping at ninety-seven steps leading to the sacred library, dusting all the books.

		So whether Iris is a good creation or a bad creation depends, in part at least, whether her literary origins impress you.
		Because Iris is a wild and debauched old lady who is the very opposite of a nun.
		It appears the joke about Iris being a nun was the reason why she was a nun.

	Philip Purser-Hallard - Iris Wildthyme in the City of the Saved
		Iris resents her muscling in on what she sees as her territory, and resolves to put a stop to her plans, whatever they may happen to be.
		Iris is shortly joined by a fellow prisoner – John Mostyn, the OU lecturer from the reception.
		Iris realises that Connie is making use of this resentment to establish a bolthole, an escape hatch for her ruthless time-travelling superiors to use in time of extreme emergency.

		Iris and Tom are both well served in 'Minions' - a scene where Iris becomes drunkenly maudlin at apparent sexual rejection and Tom attempts to console her is a highlight, but both characters are handled with consistent and obvious affection.
		Perfect Iris country, frankly, and sure enough she and Tom appear in front of one old man, causing him to wet himself as he recognises her (and Tom in particular) from 40 years previously.
		One difference between the companions of the Doctor and Iris is that in the latter case Iris rarely has the answers (although she does here) and hence the companion is robbed even of the need to ask 'What's going on?' for the readers' benefit.

		Iris is also a time traveller and well known to the Doctor, as the Doctor comments “ she uses time travel like a package holiday”.
		But Iris is troubled when she drinks (which is often) she hears voices (don’t we all) but these voices are trying to tell her something but they are indistinct.
		I found this to be a totally enjoyable story wonderfully acted especially by Katy Manning as Iris Wildthyme, she overacts wonderfully and clearly steals every scene she appears in.

	EXCELIS DAWNS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In her appearances in Paul Magrs’ BBC novels, Iris is convinced that the Doctor is secretly pleased to see her, whereas he appears to be at best irritated and at worst annoyed by the character.
		The "Iris problem" is made even worse in this, her first move from the printed page, by Katy Manning's horrendously over-the-top performance in the role.
		However the decision, be it hers, Magrs' or director Gary Russell's, to play Iris as a reject from the cast of Coronation Street, sacked for being an unbelievable sub-Gracie Fields northern stereotype, who insists on addressing all around her as "chuck", has robbed the character of any chance of being anything other than deeply annoying.

		Iris Wildthyme (who preferred not to disclose her middle name, but it wasn't Bloody) was in her cluttered sitting room knitting an overlarge tea cosy when she heard the familiar elephant-roar of a Type 40 TARDIS materialising.
		While she rabbited on about foiling the Zarbi Invasion of Earth in the year 2525, which the Doctor wasn't entirely sure had ever happened, he took a scone, licking experimentally at the cream and the jam, carefully making sure not to cross-contaminate between the two.
		Her lined face was warm and compassionate, her grey hair beautiful, and although her clothes did a good job of hiding it she had a wonderful body, and he knew full well she had the experience to match.

	Iris Wildthyme: 1: Wildthyme at Large - Audio drama review
		Before Tom knows it, Iris has entrusted him with her most precious possession, ridden off into the night with Robin Hood, and revealed that she’s being hunted by evil forces from a higher dimension...
		The wonderful Katy Manning is as dotty as ever as the “sort of” Time Lady Iris Wildthyme, while Ortis Deley sounds uncannily like CBBC presenter Andi Peters in his role as Iris’ former travelling companion Tom.
		Iris herself was in a different incarnation at the time, but here’s an idea for an audio adventure: Jo Grant meets Katy Manning’s Iris!

		Iris Wildthyme is a creation of Paul Magrs, first appearing in one of his original novels, before taking a recurring role in the BBC Doctor Who Novels.
		"We felt that to launch Iris in the midst of all the other products we were doing at the moment would be a great disservice, both to the character and also to Paul," explains producer Gary Russell.
		Ms Wildthyme will also feature in The Plague Herds of Excelis which will be written by Stephen Cole.

		But the Doctor is horrified to learn that the nuns have taken on a new visitor: the irrepressible Time Lady known as Iris Wildthyme, the Doctor's sometimes old flame and sometimes nuisiance.
		But there are other appealing elements - the return of Katy Manning, not as Jo Grant but as the somewhat irresponsible Time Lady Iris Wildthyme, and more continuity references in the space of 100 minutes than we normally get with a whole year's worth of Big Finish Audio Adventures.
		Katy Manning, much as I loved her in the 70s as Jo Grant, is nerve-wracking as Iris Wildthyme.

		Killer sheep, rampaging stone gargoyles and unicorns, a mysterious race sending people down as characters from literature all the while worshipping a handbag which then disintegrate, a group of (Earth) children with advanced powers, the Master, UNIT's disappearence and a big green being named Verdigris...
		Iris is just about as opposite in personality to the Third Doctor as is possible and sure enough, the author milks this for all its worth and the Doctor/Iris sequences are amongst the most memorable ever.

	THE PLAGUE HERDS OF EXCELIS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Listeners who have followed the Excelis will have been left with many unanswered questions — not least what was Iris doing on Artaris in the first place, and how did her handbag come to be a transdimensional object of enormous power, known locally as “the Relic”.
		Here all those plot lines are resolved, as it becomes clear that this fourth instalment is not merely the epilogue to a trilogy, but is the crucial final instalment of a four-part story.
		Just as the juxtaposition of Iris and Benny serves to underline just what a well-rounded, believable character Miss Summerfield is, so Miss Manning suffers in comparison with the excellent Lisa Bowerman.

		In fact, Iris seems lacking in personality altogether and is more an amalgam of 'Irisy things' than an actual personality - a character in Most Horrid says her accent lies 'somewhere between Liverpool, Manchester and perhaps Ilkley Moor' and everything else about her is similarly generic.
		A Storm of Angels, is unfortunate, but just goes to show that great minds think alike (and I'm sure that the author would have no objection to being compared to Marc Platt in that respect).
		It's really not possible to imagine the Doctor in the same position (well it is, but the resultant story would be very different and, frankly, not very good).
