Jago & Litefoot

Jago & Litefoot is an audio series from Big Finish Productions. The stories involve Henry Gordon Jago and George Litefoot, characters first introduced in the Doctor Who story The Talons of Weng-Chiang. In the series, they solve mysteries involving paranormal or alien phenomena in 1890s London. Christopher Benjamin, Trevor Baxter and Conrad Asquith reprise their roles as Jago, Litefoot and PC Quick (promoted to Sergeant Quick, and subsequently to Inspector). They are joined in the regular cast by Lisa Bowerman as barmaid Ellie Higson.

A Companion Chronicles release entitled The Mahogany Murderers was released as a standalone story, but served as a backdrop pilot for a potential series. After favourable reception, a season of four stories were announced for release as a boxed CD set as well as digitally on 30 June 2010. Weeks before the release of the first series, a second series was confirmed for release in January 2011, and continual popularity saw a third series begin recording in August 2010 for a June 2011 release. The series subsequently adopted a bi-annual release pattern, with eleven series having been released so far.

On 9 January 2016, a twelfth series was confirmed for release in April 2016.
