User:Epsilon the Eternal/Sandbox Three

A Lancastrian incarnation of Iris Wildthyme who lived a life of sheer drunken foolerly, whose early days were nebulous and contradictory, was best known for her travels with Panda in her red double decker bus that spluttered through the multiverse. To Brenda, Iris resembled a cross between Gracie Fields and the Pendle Witches. (PROSE: A Tingle of Happiness)

After she met Panda, (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large) she discovered a potential childhood in the Clockworks. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!) Later in her escapades with Panda, a group of PussyWorlders discovered the remains of her bus on Hyspero, (PROSE: Future Legend) causing her to question her mortality and to take better care of her bus, (PROSE: Just the Ticket) going as far as to attempt to purchase spare parts for her bus via an auction. (PROSE: Buyer's Remorse) She would eventually leave Panda, (AUDIO: Wildthyme Reloaded, PROSE: A Lady Doctor?) a decision she later regretted.

By one account, this incarnation of Iris was in her sixth body, with many more to go. (PROSE: The Golden Hendecahedron) By another account, Iris claimed to her companion Jo Grant that she was incapable of regeneration and thus in her final remaining body. (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom) After she and her companion Panda defeated Lionel Pandeau and other versions of himself from across the multiverse, Iris told Panda that she was the only Iris Wildthyme in the multiverse. (AUDIO: Iris Wildthyme and the Panda Invasion)

She was one of, if not the oldest, out of all her incarnations, as she had spent several long periods of time in one place, such as the passing of a decade after her falling out with Tom, (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large), the time she had spent seventy-four years in the Gallery, (PROSE: Framed) need to find more information to add here

This incarnation also liked to "bookmark" adventures - essentially, she would go off and have adventures, even if she was already embroiled in another. (PROSE: Enter Wildthyme)

Early travels
It was suggested by several accounts that this incarnation of Iris Wildthyme was actually the same incarnation as the, (AUDIO: Excelis Dawns, The Plague Herds of Excelis, Wildthyme at Large, PROSE: Preface, et al.) coming after the ; (PROSE: An Unearthly Palaver, ) therefore, this incarnation would have encountered the Fourth Doctor in 1764 with her companion Captain Turner, (PROSE: Old Flames) yadda yadda more info to be added

This also remained consistent with the being a future incarnation when Panda is separated from Iris, and meets this "sex astronaut" incarnation. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love)

Early on in this incarnation, Iris travelled to Bianca's Cabaret, drunkenly stumbling into the Sixth Doctor. The duo faced off against Bianca, who turned out to be Iris' equivalent of the Valeyard. (AUDIO: The Wormery)

Meeting Panda
According to one account, Iris met Panda when he met her in a pub on the under-city of Gallifrey. (PROSE: The Runaway HiFi)

Iris reunited with her old friend Tom, entrusting him with the Memory Crystal from the Mines of Marlion. She then tried to take refuge with Robin Hood, who betrayed her to an entity known as the Head, a "higher power" intent on stealing Iris' memories. The Head forced her to pilot her bus to Tom, and it attempted to take the Memory Crystal, until Panda grabbed it and destroyed it, on instruction from Iris. (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large)

Early escapades with Panda
While Panda attended Coal Hill School, Iris resided in her bus at Putney Common. One foggy night, Panda was followed home by two teachers, Ian and Barbara, who upon seeing the inside of Iris' dusty, cramped, and smelly bus, threatened to call social services, but Iris managed to persuade Barbara over with a few drinks, and then Iris took them on adventure somewhere fabulous. (PROSE: An Unearthly Palaver)

(Re)discovering her past
Whilst investigating a number of strange objects that had fallen out of the sky over the North-Eastern town of Darlington, Iris attended what the locals called the "Writers' Festival"; a small convention of amateur poets. There, she met bookworm Simon, who had only attended the convention in support of his friend Kelly, who had gone off with mesmeric poet Anthony Marvelle. Hours and many drinks later, Simon walked Iris back to her bus, which she dematerialised in front of his very eyes.

Clothing
Iris was often seen wearing a tigerskin coat, (PROSE: Enter Wildthyme) which she once wore over a silver frock. (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large)

Iris owned a extraordinary set of lilac and midnight blue jungle fatigues, which she wore along with a pith helmet and goggles, when she and her friends first ventured out into the jungle on Valcea. (PROSE: Enter Wildthyme)

This incarnation was excessively gaudy, wearing combinations of tasteless clothing. As such, she was instantly recognisable, even to people who had only encountered previous incarnations. (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large, et al)

Behind the scenes

 * From the first few stories featuring the incarnation of Iris Wildthyme as played by Katy Manning, there is a definite implication that the "Katy Manning" incarnation is the same as the "Beryl Reid" incarnation. For instance, in Preface and Wildthyme at Large, Iris is still travelling with her companion Thomas Daley, as if she was still the "Beryl Reid" incarnation, without any indication that she had regenerated (which she had done at the very least once, into the "Jane Fonda" incarnation). Additionally, Tom recognised Iris immediately in Wildthyme at Large, which makes little sense unless if the "Katy Manning incarnation had had many unseen adventures with Thomas prior to Wildthyme at Large.
 * While she has never been identified as such in a valid source, various behind the scenes and blurbs describe Iris as looking like Katy Manning.
