Iris Wildthyme first appearing in ( Doctor Who wise at least) short trip Old Flames where she claims she’s a old flame of the Doctor. Since then she has met several other incarnations and has had a series of her own with books, audios(played by Katy Manning) and soon to also include a comic. She travels in a red London double decker bus that’s smaller on the inside most notably with Panda who is well a Panda.

My auntie Iris <3 I love and adore her more than I can say. I know she’s too grating and wacky for some but I lovelovelove her. I listen to the audios all the time to go to sleep to, they’re such a comfort to me
I’ve listened to most of her audios and loved them even though I can’t remember much because I’d listen to them when I was too tired to focus. They’re so wacky and fun
I’ve only encountered Iris once, (in Origin Stories of all places) and absolutely loved her.
Anyone have any recommendations of where to get more Iris?
God I love Iris. My only exposure to her has been through her appearances in the Eighth Doctor Adventures books but I got attached to her so quickly
The Scarlet Empress (EDA book by Paul Magrs) was my first introduction to her and it’s weird, fantastical, and just a really fun book all round. I think it can stand alone without the other EDAs?
I also really enjoyed The Blue Angel, but that’s much harder to recommend 
Not in a bad way!, Iris is on top form as ever, but also knockoff Kirk and Spock are there and someone turns into a whale
I need to read this
This story is free from big finish
A good part of her audio series is also free on Spotify, but you don’t use that
I haven’t really done any of her other stories yet (well I read old flames which was fun but that’s all) so I can’t speak for any other stuff of hers
My first experience with Iris was when WIldthyme Reloaded came out and I thought sure what the hell lets give this a go, and fell in love with her. I’ve only went back and heard her first audio series but I really need to hear the rest. I loved reloaded, the format works well for me too. Its a shame that it never amounted to further series.
I first encountered Iris in Excelis Dawns. I couldn’t stand her. She was too “High Energy” for me.
Plague Herds of Excelis was my second encounter with her. I rather enjoyed her in this one. She was less shouty, and more chill… well as chill as she can get.
I think for audio, I will always have a love/hate relationship with the character. It will all depend on how they portray her.
