Iris Wildthyme

Iris Wildthyme, née Lilith, was a self-styled "transtemporal adventuress" who travelled the multiverse in a double decker bus, often with friends, most notably her best pal Panda. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!) She once described herself as a "transtemporal righter-of-wrongs, wronger-of-rights, meddler, artist, writer, glamourpuss, occasional Time's champion, and very old flame of the Doctor". (PROSE: The Blue Angel) Iris didn't have a stable timeline, and as such she didn't live her life in chronological order. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion)

Iris spent portions of her life under the aliases Brenda Soobie (PROSE: Mad Dogs and Englishmen) and Bianca. (AUDIO: The Wormery) She used the username Route22. (PROSE: Buyer's Remorse) She was known to the Forge under the codename Jezebel (PROSE: Project: Wildthyme) and to the Poodles as the evil one in the wonderbra and sensible shoes. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!)

Origins
Iris had multiple equally true pasts, with details that contradicted each other to varying degrees. (PROSE: Wandering Stars)

Her birthday was 16 August. (PROSE: Our Tune)

As a Time Lady
Iris grew up on Gallifrey in the House of Aunts (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress). The Doctor was unable to find any record of her on the planet, because she had erased herself from the records. (AUDIO: The Wormery) Her bus was a TARDIS. (PROSE: Old Flames)

As a member of the Clockworks
Iris was a member of the Clockworks aristocracy in the Obverse. As a young girl, she was called Lilith. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!)

When she lived in the Clockworks mountains, Lilith went to the base of the moutains with her friend Alison and found a deserted fishing village. When Liltih stood with Alison at the village's pier, she saw dozens of small sharp-toothed white fish and was startled. She fell into the water and quickly grabbed a beam and pulled herself out. While this was going on, Alison laughed at Lilith's misfortune. After this incident, Lilith never trusted Alison again. (PROSE: First Meetings)

Lilith investigated the forest at the heart of Saga City, where she met a Eliot, a tree containing a map of the multiverse. She went through Eliot and found herself outside Saga City, near Wherewithal House. The House's Aunts took her in, hoping that her family would find her and reward them. A boy named Dick discovered Panda and the bus, which had both already traveled with her in her future, out in the desert. Panda helped her get the bus going again and they escaped through the Ringpull to the outside universe, where she first began her travels. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!)

Other origins
The Eighth Doctor suggested Iris may have been a Faction Paradox creation. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion)

Iris was a lesbian novelist from late 20th century Earth. (PROSE: Hospitality)

Iris was a Greek goddess, possibly the mother of Eros. (PROSE: Wandering Stars)

Early adventures in the multiverse
Iris met the Doctor in his first incarnation shortly after he ran away from Gallifrey. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Edith Sitwell Iris
Iris' first incarnation resembled the poet Edith Sitwell. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion, The Golden Hendecahedron) She was involved in the life of novelist Denton Welch and was mentioned in his memoirs. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion)

On one occasion, Iris was brought to a desolate wilderness with a tower in it by PAND-R. There she encountered four of her other selves and fought the Voodi, the Gaar, the Bummies, and the Chumbloids before defeating PAND-R in the tower. During the adventure, Iris cackled they were lucky only the "rubbish monsters" had been pooper scoopered to the wilderness. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love)

Iris came to August 1984 to track down some alien creatures, but they realised they were being followed and made her bus the size of a toy. She mostly escaped the bus before she could be squished, but found her foot stuck in it. A boy named Andrew wandered by and used a screwdriver he had in his pocket to mess with the bus's miniature controls and disconnect the etheric solenoids. The bus quickly grew back to normal size and Iris invited Andrew into the bus to have lemonade and seed cake. The creatures had already left during the time Iris's foot was stuck, so she also left after saying farewell to Andrew. (PROSE: Dog Days of Summer)

Shirley Bassey Iris
Iris' second incarnation resembled the singer Shirley Bassey in her prime. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion, The Golden Hendecahedron) For a while, Iris used this to her advantage and made money by posing as Bassey. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion)

She took to the life of a singer and began calling herself Brenda Soobie. Under this alias, she performed in places such as Las Vegas and Vega and released "a ton" of records. (PROSE: The Golden Hendecahedron)

Iris travelled to Scotland in 1447 and helped a burly warlord get out of a well he had fallen into. She beat the warlord in a caber tossing contest and posed for an oil painting called "Posing with unknown Scottish warlord". (PROSE: Iris at the V&A)

Beryl Reid Iris
According to most accounts, the Iris that resembled Beryl Reid was the third Iris. (PROSE: The Blue Angel, The Golden Hendecahedron) However, she once said that she was the fifth Iris. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Iris encountered the Fourth Doctor in 1764. She was trying to obtain a house in every century and had brought Edwin Turner to marry Bella Huntingdon, thereby gaining the Huntingdon estate. In fact, the Huntingdons were of an alien species and Lady Huntingdon wanted Iris' TARDIS so she could return to her home world. When Iris refused, Lady Huntingdon raced to the TARDIS and attacked Iris when she got there. The Doctor was able to trap Lady Huntingdon in a message pod. With her plan failed, Iris simply left 1764, leaving Turner trapped in the past. (PROSE: Old Flames)

For while, Iris travelled with a traffic warden named Jenny Winterleaf. (PROSE: Verdigris) The first place that Iris took Jenny to was Mexico, where they fought Montezuma. (PROSE: Iris Wildthyme y Señor Cientocinco contra Los Monstruos del Fiesta) During their adventures, Iris and Jenny fought Spiritus Mundi (PROSE: Only Living Girls) and helped the Second Doctor defeat the Dalek Supreme in the diamond mines of Marlion. (PROSE: Verdigris, Bafflement and Devotion, AUDIO: Excelis Dawns) Eventually, Iris and Jenny had an argument (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large) and Iris left Jenny in 1996 England. (PROSE: The Dreadful Flap)

Iris was part of the Sisterhood of Karn for a couple of years and was one of those present crying 'Death!' when the Fourth Doctor paid Karn a visit. (PROSE: Verdigris)

Iris, with her companion Tom, visited Earth and aided the Third Doctor in defeating Verdigris. (PROSE: Verdigris)

Iris also met the Eighth Doctor and Samantha Jones. Iris ate a Kaled mutant during this period, which proved harmful and forced her to regenerate. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Jane Fonda Iris
According to most accounts, the Iris that looked like Jane Fonda was the fourth Iris. (PROSE: The Blue Angel, The Golden Hendecahedron) According to one account, this Iris was the sixth. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Early adventures
One of the first things Iris did after regenerating was send a video of her regeneration to the Eighth Doctor and Sam. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Iris met the Eighth Doctor in Paris, 1934 and also in the Obverse. (PROSE: Femme Fatale, PROSE: The Blue Angel)

Iris once took Marlene Dietrich and Carlos Esteban to 4281, where they fought a Tarixion Gas Fiend. (PROSE: Iris at the V&A)

Working for UNIT
Iris worked part-time as UNIT's special scientific advisor in the mid-1990s. During this time, "a couple of people in Geneva" repeatedly asked how easy it would be to put a base on the Moon.

In 1996, the Remote sold a dangerous alien weapon at COPEX. Iris asked UNISYC to tell her what was going on, but they refused. After the Eighth Doctor dealt with the situation, Iris was interviewed by Sarah Jane Smith for the documentary Voodoo Economics. (PROSE: Interference - Book Two)

In early 1997, Iris went on vacation. (PROSE: Bullet Time)

Fifth Iris
Iris' fifth incarnation had an easy going personality. She dyed her hair red and wore clothing similar to a rock star from the 1970s.

On one occasion, Iris had to explode something in space. Due to the fact that sound couldn't travel in the vacuum of space, Iris closed one of her eyes, but kept the other open to make sure the explosion happened. The explosion caused a dispersal of pigment in Iris' open eye and it changed colour from brown to blue. (PROSE: The Golden Hendecahedron)

Alone
Iris had an adventure with the Doctor's fifth incarnation on Artaris. (AUDIO: Excelis Dawns)

Iris travelled to Artaris again in the 27th century, where she met Bernice Summerfield. (AUDIO: The Plague Herds of Excelis) After this adventure, Iris dropped the drunken Bernice on the space liner the Empress to take her home, telling her to act like she owned the place. (AUDIO: The Dance of the Dead)

Iris decided to take a drink in Bianca's Bar where she met the Sixth Doctor and faced Bianca, her own evil future self, who attempted to steal her remaining regenerations. (AUDIO: The Wormery)

Iris met Robin Hood and his Merry Men and introduced them to time travel. (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large)

Tom & Panda
Iris found herself being pursued by a powerful being from the higher dimensions who wanted her knowledge of the multiverse. For several months, she hid from the being in a variety of realities. Eventually, she put her memories into a mind crystal from Marlion to protect them from the being. She then landed in Sherwood Forest and met up with Robin Hood and his merry men, who took Iris to the 2000s.

Iris learned that her old companion Tom had written a book series based on his adventures with her and attended one of Tom's book signings. After the signing, Iris had dinner with Tom and gave him the crystal with her memories. Before the meal ended, Robin Hood's merry men came to the restaurant and took Iris back to their time. The Sheriff of Nottingham had kidnapped Maid Marian and Fiar Tuck and wanted Robin Hood to give him Iris in exchange for them. Iris was taken to the sheriff's castle where she discovered that the higher being was responsible for the kidnapping. The being learned that Iris didn't have the knowledge he wanted with her, so he took control of Iris and made her pilot her bus directly to Tom.

Iris landed in the office of Satan & Satan, a publishing company and secret off shoot of MIAOW, where Tom and his sentient toy panda had been trying to convince Mida Slike to cancel the Iris Wildhtyme book series. The higher being mind controlled everyone in the office and tried to make Tom give him the mind crystal, but Panda wasn't affected because he didn't have a brain and took the crystal from Tom. Under instruction from Iris, Panda shattered the crystal and Iris' memories were seemingly lost forever. With this, the higher being left. Iris offered the chance to travel with her again to Tom and he accepted. Tom's toy panda Panda also wanted to travel with Iris so she took him with her as well. (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large) Although Iris had travelled with Panda before, they didn't recognize each other because of something to do with timelines. (PROSE: Wandering Stars)

Her memories started to appear in Panda. She said that she learned medicine from Lister. Iris thought she was becoming the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. (AUDIO: The Devil in Ms. Wildthyme)

The trio decided to go to relax by going to an acupuncturist in Lowestoft, but their acupuncturist turned out to be the Acupuncturist, an evil retired Clockworks who was going by an alias that was an anagram of his name. Iris used a lighter and some fireworks she had in her handbag to defeat the Acupuncturist.

Iris discovered an old freighter spaceship that was going to crash onto prehistoric Earth and kill all of the dinosaurs. Tom almost died on the spaceship, but after seventeen attempts Iris was able to get him off of it before it crashed. She eventually prevented it from crashing into Earth, although she accidentally left Panda on the ship and came back for him two weeks after she left. (PROSE: Future Legend)

Tom left to be with a man with whom he had fallen in love during one of the trio's adventures on Earth circa 2008, leaving Iris and Panda travelling without him. (AUDIO: The Sound of Fear, The Dreadful Flap)

Adventures with Panda
Iris and Panda then travelled to Radio Yesterday and met her husband Sam Gold. (AUDIO: The Sound of Fear) The pair continued travelling together for a long time though the two often fell out. (PROSE: Couch Potatoes, PROSE: Future Legend) She was rather found of using logic bombs in her investigations. She could fix vehicles better than her bus. She was exiled by the Clockworks to 1972. She travelled to wonderland. (AUDIO: The Land of Wonder)

During their travels, the two encountered George W. Bush, (PROSE: Chicken Fried Banana Republic) Marlene Dietrich, (PROSE: The Scarlet Shadow) Professor Challenger (PROSE: The Found World) and Sherlock Holmes. (PROSE: The Shape of Things) She met Hilary Wildthyme after Panda opened his hipflask. She went into rehab and created Hilary as a decoy. (AUDIO: The Two Irises)

Iris dropped her gin and tonic into the vortex and caused a rip. After Iris lost Panda when he jumped into a rift to save the multiverse, (AUDIO: The Panda Invasion) she spent many years searching for him and eventually turned to Santa Claus for help. Iris and Santa found that Santa's ex-wife, Mary Christmas had kidnapped Panda. Iris used Clockworks technology to regress Mary's mind to a time when she and Santa were happy together. She then left with Panda for new adventures. (AUDIO: The Claws of Santa)

For an extended period, Iris and Panda were pursed by a Monstron time destroyer piloted by an unknown enemy. (AUDIO: The Iris Wildthyme Appreciation Society) Iris installed a randomiser in the bus to evade the craft, but its pursuit continued until the pilot - a bitter future version of Iris - caught up with them in the town of Midwinter Leys in Warwickshire and attacked them. (AUDIO: Iris Rides Out, AUDIO: Midwinter Murders) The future Iris captured Panda and her younger self and sent them to a Pleasure Prison, where the pair were immersed in separate virtual realities designed to provide their greatest desires. Iris and Panda were able to escape the program after remembering how much each needed the other. (AUDIO: Whatever Happened to Iris Wildthyme?)

After this, Iris met Ted Taylor, an up-and-coming professional darts player who fulfilled his prophesied destiny by becoming a quantum superbeing and waging war on the Bovians, a cow-like alien race. (AUDIO: Iris at the Oche)

A jingle got in her head and she passed it on to Panda. Iris then decided to go an find the source the single and tracked it to Jupiter. It turned out the the Lift was trying to wipe the minds of humanity. (AUDIO: A Lift in Time)

Jo Jones
After dropping Panda off somewhere to complete a mission for her, Iris met Jo Jones while on Earth in 2010 and took her to meet the Third Doctor in the 1970s. After this, Jo and Iris began to travel together. (AUDIO: Find and Replace) On one occasion, Iris and Jo arrived in Los Angeles, 1930s. While there, they encountered the Eighth Doctor, and together defeated a movie star who was turning her husbands into monstrous characters using an elixir left behind by Iris on a previous misadventure. (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom)

Returning to Turner
Iris returned for Captain Turner, whom she had left trapped in the past, and traveled with him on many new adventures. She took him to 2015 where she wanted to buy him some derivatives of Jane Austen's work. Here she discovered a book by Kronos Vad which disn't exist. She went back in time to stop Sherlock Holmes from being killed in an explosion. (AUDIO: Kronos Vad's History of Earth Vol. 36,379) She had a crush on Brian Bonamy and often went into the 1980s to see him. She met him again in Margate in 2015, where she found out he was under contract by the Scorchies. (AUDIO: Comeback of the Scorchies) She then too him to Pink Gables, her house on the Moon.(AUDIO: Dark Side). When she visited Fergusons she found Cassie Burdock who told her future.

Other Irises
Iris once proposed to the Doctor in Venice, when she appeared to be a woman in her sixties, with long white hair that reached to the ground. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) The Doctor, in his third incarnation, had recently left Jo behind. He suggested they team up to defeat a common foe; Iris misinterpreted this as seduction. (AUDIO: The Wormery)

The first seven incarnations of Iris faced Morbius in the Death Zone, facing aliens such as the Quarks and the Zarbi. (AUDIO: Excelis Dawns, PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Undated events
On one occasion, Iris spent Christmas with the Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka. Iris adored the Fifth Doctor but also worried about him being so serious lately, stating that he didn't seem as fun as he used to be. Iris was fond of Adric and was devastated to hear of his untimely death. However, she was not fond of Tegan, describing her as "that shrill Australian woman." (AUDIO: Excelis Dawns)

She claimed to have been present for the Great Fire of London in September 1666. (AUDIO: Excelis Dawns)

Appearance
Iris had a tattoo of a "bumblebee riding a bike." (AUDIO: Iris Rides Out)

Personality
Iris was not fond of the Doctor's seventh incarnation. She once described him to the Eighth Doctor as "a portentous little feller, swaggering around, thinking he's got all the world's darkest secrets under his hat." Furthermore, she thought that he was "a pretentious old thing" who "got on [her] nerves" as he regarded himself as the Guardian of Forever and Time's Champion. She held in a similarly low regard, referring to him as "that pitiful, deluded phallocentric dope." (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Panda only appeared in the pilot episode of the series before he was replaced by a kangaroo named Hoppy. (AUDIO: The Iris Wildthyme Appreciation Society)

Others

 * The Dan Hogarth Iris - Iris' fake seventh and male incarnation. He wasn't actually an incarnation of Iris Wildthyme, merely a projection generated by Iris Wildthyme's TARDIS. (AUDIO: The Two Irises)
 * Bianca - Bianca acted as Iris' equivalent of the Valeyard. Working with a group of psychic worms, Bianca rebuilt her TARDIS as a nightclub at a dimensional nexus. From there she endeavoured to bring ultimate harmony to the universe, and to steal the remaining regenerations from Iris. The plans failed when her club was destroyed, and she faded out of existence. (AUDIO: The Wormery)

Iris's TARDIS

 * Main article: Celestial Omnibus

Iris Wildthyme's TARDIS was usually known as the "Celestial Omnibus" or simply "the Bus," resembled a red London double-decker bus, specifically the Number 22 to Putney Common. Lacking the standard dimensional transcendence exhibited by other TARDISes, it was smaller inside than out. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Iris's companions

 * Captain Edwin Turner, who left Iris after only one trip to marry Bella Huntingdon. (PROSE: Old Flames) However, he later rejoined her in further adventures (AUDIO: Kronos Vad's History of Earth Vol. 36,379)

 * Iris mentioned Gary as another of her previous companions. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)
 * Jeremy, who helped her defeat the 22nd century Dalek invasion of Earth. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)
 * Iris refers to one of her former companions as "an obtuse shape-shifter who loved nothing better than to spend much of his time as a lippy and garrulous penguin."

 * Flossie and Fritter joined Iris following the adventure with the Doctor and Noël Coward. (PROSE: Mad Dogs and Englismen)

Tom
Tom (who was gay) and his talking panda travelled with Iris for some time, before he returned to Earth, Iris came looking for Tom once more. While on Earth, Tom wrote mildy successful books about his travels with Iris, although most people regarded the books as fiction. (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large)

Panda
He looked like a stuffed panda, liked more than a drop of alcohol (any really) and was a freelance journalist in 1972. He would often get self conscious at any mention of him being stuffed or looking like a toy panda. He continued to travel with Iris even after Tom departed. (AUDIO: The Land of Wonder)

Jo Jones
Iris befriended the Doctor's former companion Jo Jones (née Grant) in 2010. Jo joined Iris on her travels, happy to once again be a time traveller. (AUDIO: Find and Replace, The Elixir of Doom)

Behind the scenes

 * Iris Wildthyme can be described as a meta-fictional character, able to comment on the world she is in, and on the Doctor's own adventures from a point of view removed from the normal narrative structures. Iris first appeared in novels by Paul Magrs outside of the Doctor Who universe, making her a crossover character. The "old woman" Iris Wildthyme appears like actor Beryl Reid (who has guest-starred on Doctor Who). On audio, Katy Manning supplies the voice for the character; her image is usually also used to depict the character, as on the cover of Iris Wildthyme and the Celestial Omnibus.
 * Many of the experiences Iris claims as hers are very similar to the Doctor's own. In some cases she vividly remembers the First Doctor's first trip to Skaro as being part of her own past rather than his. Among the explanations she has offered for this are the possibility that she is an alternate universe's equivalent of the Doctor or that she is a creation of Faction Paradox. In truth, Iris has a metafictional awareness of the fact that she is a parody of the Doctor, and is consequently madly in love with him. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion) In the short story First Meetings, (PROSE: Iris: Abroad) it is claimed that someone named El Jefe, who closely resembles the Doctor, stole Iris' diaries and passed the enclosed adventures off as his own, rather than vice-versa.
 * Along with Bernice Summerfield, Wildthyme is one of the more prolific Doctor Who universe characters never to appear on screen (although Bernice did appear in the animated webcast Dead and Buried and live-action webcast Transmission from Mars).
 * To date, Katy Manning and Maria McErlane are the only actors to portray Iris officially. None of Iris's other incarnations have as yet been portrayed in audio form.
