The Panda Invasion (audio story)

Publisher's summary
San Francisco, New Year’s Eve, 1999

She’s back, and it’s about… gin!

When an unconscious Iris Wildthyme is rushed into a San Francisco hospital on New Year’s Eve 1999, hunky doctor George Strangeways’ life is turned upside down.

As the world prepares to party its way into the next millennium, a space time rift opens above the Golden Gate Bridge – where an old fashioned London bus has appeared… As the rift spills untold horrors from other dimensions into our world, Iris has just one question: where the ‘eck is Panda?!

Cast

 * Iris Wildthyme - Katy Manning
 * Panda - David Benson
 * Lionel Pandeau - Toby Longworth
 * George Strangeways - Sean Carlsen

Continuity

 * This story takes place contemporaneously with PDA: Millennium Shock, MA: Millennial Rites, DWM: Plastic Millennium, DW: Doctor Who (1996) and part of TW: Fragments.
 * The news broadcast heard immediately after Iris and Panda arrive in 1999 refers to the beryllium atomic clock at the Institute for Technological Advancement and Research which was to take place later that night. The newly regenerated Eighth Doctor and Grace Holloway were in attendance. (DW: Doctor Who (1996))
 * It is possible — but, due to the parodic nature of the piece, by no means certain — that Iris is taken to Walker General Hospital, the same one in which the Seventh Doctor is then regenerating. In her case, the doctors on staff are puzzled by the two livers that show up on her X-rays, just as Grace was perplexed by the Doctor's binary vascular system.
