The first appearance of Iris Wildthyme is next in “Old Flames” which is also Paul Magrs’ first piece of Doctor Who fiction in general.  It’s certainly got more to it than “Model Train Set”, playing off what was considered the Doctor/companion dynamic with the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith.  What’s interesting is that Iris in creation is very much meant to be a one-off character, a foil and flirtatious force for the Doctor.  It’s the most different Iris has ever really been, because she won’t really crystallize into the character that her fans will entirely know until The Scarlet Empress, she’s almost treated like a joke.  Okay, she is still very much a comedic character today, but the one-off nature really does shine through.  The short story itself is this eighteenth century style affair complete with ball, romance, betrayals, and the Doctor being a true bohemian.  7/10.
