Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles: Elixir of Doom tenth anniversary

May 16 2024 marked ten years since the release of The Elixir of Doom, the penultimate story of The Companion Chronicles season 8 from Big Finish.
Starring Katy Manning as both Jo Grant and Iris Wildthyme.
Written by Paul Magrs.
This is the sequel to Find and Replace when Jo and Iris met for the first time.
In The Elixir of Doom, Jo and Iris are in 1930s L.A.
Obviously deriving from the Doctor’s psychic paper, this story has Iris producing her psychic money.
I wrote at the time that psychic money is quite handy but if everybody had psychic money the economy would definitely be in trouble.
I had thought this as a fascinating story involving a movie that was left unfinished plus the Eighth Doctor also being present throughout this story but without the involvement of Paul McGann.
