Heads up people

Apparently, 'The Verb' on BBC Radio 3 tonight (Friday, Dec 22nd) at 10:00 is having an 'Out of this World' Science Fiction Christmas Special

It seems that one of the monologues is being told by Katy Manning: "The actress Katy Manning played Jo Grant alongside Jon Pertwee in Doctor Who in the early 70s, a role she reprised in the Sarah Jane Adventures. As Iris Wildthyme, she’s not an assistant, but a fully-in charge-independent-Lady of Means, righting wrongs on the number twenty-two bus. "

For those who don't know, "Iris Wildthyme is a fictional character created by writer Paul Magrs, who has appeared in short stories, novels and audio dramas from numerous publishers. She is best known from spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, where she is sometimes depicted as a renegade Time Lady

Her stories are in the New Wave mold, characterised by nonlinear, sometimes stream of consciousness narrative, intertextual references to the rest of Doctor Who and popular culture, and themes of unreliable narration. She has a playful, mischievous personality, delighting in baiting the Doctor and getting into trouble."
