For many, the idea of terrorism on British soil is a fairly recent state of affairs, something that started in the 1970s when political events close to home spilled out onto the streets of Britain and has carried on into the 21st Century as ideologies clash, sometimes with devastating results.

A long laid down plot in which to ensnare our intrepid investigators, the dark arts and foul machinations of vampire Gabriel Sanders and the bigotry of Victorian standards all play a part in the final episode of Jago and Litefoot series two with Andy Lane’s tale The Ruthven Inheritance.

It seems that the theatre can be bad for the health; especially when it involves the Theatre De Fantasie and Henry Gordon Jago’s desire and yearning to be back on top of the impresario game.

Series Two of Jago and Litefoot’s enquiries into the world of the infernal and nefarious leads neatly to the stage where a slight supposed diversion, a chance for the action to become diverting enough before the final curtain comes down with an enjoyable story by Jonathan Morris which tests the wits and friendship of the two investigators in The Theatre Of Dreams.

One of the most powerful images of pre-20th Century medical advancement is that of the body-snatcher, the ghoulish purveyors of the recently deceased and comfortable in their new home six feet underground to the medical profession, especially those of impoverished students for research purposes has never been looked at favourably or with rose tinted eyes. What it has done though has given cinema and audio drama the great lease of life in which to scare audience’s silly.

Jago and Litefoot are as inseparable as fish and chips, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding…the Doctor and his companion…As Series Two starts with the eminent professor forming a new working relationship with his equal Gabriel Sanders, it seems that the dynamic duo, the investigators of all incidents infernal have gone their separate ways and the cold reality of their friendship hits Henry Gordon Jago hard.

The final episode of Jago & Litefoot’s adventures, at least for as season one goes, sees the common thread of the machinations of Doctor Tulp finally revealed and for Gordon Henry Jago and Professor Litefoot it is a case that brings danger to the front door of the two friends and amateur detectives.

When a dead body is found on the Circle Line on London’s Underground, it seems as if this could just be another death that the metropolis has seen another subject pass untimely away into the arms of Lady Morpheus’ elder sister Death.  Nothing that should concern two of London’s eminent amateur detectives, nothing out of the ordinary to vex the brain power of Professor Litefoot and his friend with the knack of finding himself either in debt to theatre productions or flustered with his use of alliteration which he uses to great and stunning effect.

There have been many notable characters in the world of Doctor Who. Aside from the Doctor himself and his ever changing roster of travelling companions, there have been very few that have touched the fan base as Henry Gordon Jago and Professor George Litefoot did. First introduced in the Tom Baker era, Jago and Litefoot live again in the first series box set of which The Bloodless Soldier is a colourful re-introduction of two of the larger than life characters that call Victorian London their home.

The Doctor in all his incarnations can never be truly trusted…especially when the Doctor is not all he seems to be.
