Jago & Litefoot is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It stars Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter as Henry Gordon Jago and Professor George Litefoot, their characters from the 1977 TV story The Talons of Weng-Chiang.[1] The Mahogany Murderers was an entry in the Companion Chronicles range of audio plays and acted as a pilot for this series.[2] Justin Richards is the script editor.
Thirteen series were released between 2010 and 2017, along with a handful of special releases. Each series consists of a box set of 4 hour-long plays.[2] Between the fourth and fifth series, the duo travelled with the Doctor (Colin Baker) for a pair of adventures, Voyage to Venus and Voyage to the New World, as single-disc releases. Additionally, a pair of Short Trips were released in March & April 2017 called "The Jago & Lightfoot Revival" (featuring the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors); while they also reunited with the Fourth Doctor for The Justice of Jalxar, The Beast of Kravenos and the Sixth Doctor in Stage Fright.
