Doctor Who The Highlanders

Frazer Hines provides the linking narration for the digitally remastered soundtrack of the “lost” television
adventure in which he made his first appearance as Jamie.

Scotland,
1745. The Doctor. Ben and Polly arrive in Scotland after the Battle of
Culloden and meet a band of Highlanders who are fleeing in defeat.
Their Laird is injured and the three offer to help tend his injuries.
Polly and Kirsty McLaren, the Laird’s daughter, (played in a guest
appearance by Hannah Gordon) go to fetch some water but whilst they are
gone the others are captured by Redcoat troops.

Things
become worse when the group is taken again - this time by the crooked
Solicitor Grey, who is part of the West Indian slave trade. The
prisoners, Ben amongst them, are bundled on board the Annabelle where
the wicked Captain Trask issues dire threats of drowning.

Meanwhile the
Doctor is on dry land confusing all and sundry in a variety of
disguises. However, his bumbling manner hides a sharp brain and
eventually he, Polly and Ben are reunited in the TARDIS together with
young piper Jamie McCrimmon who went on to become one of the most
popular companions of the series.
