The
TARDIS (with the Doctor, Polly and Ben) arrive in Scotland in the aftermath
of the battle of Culloden (1745). The Doctor gains the trust of a small band
of fleeing Highlanders by offering to tend their wounded Laird, Colin McLaren;
but while Polly and the Laird's daughter, Kirsty, are away fetching water, he
and the others are all captured by Redcoat troops under the command of Lieutenant
Algernon ffinch. Along the way they meet Jamie McCrimmon.
SPECIAL DETAILS
This unique project matches the soundtrack recording
of a classic DOCTOR WHO television story with a visual slideshow
of 'telesnaps' showing images from the lost film recording. Of the 100 plus episodes
of DOCTOR WHO which are absent from the television archives, only
two elements survive: off-air sound recordings and 'telesnaps'. For each 25 minute
episode of DOCTOR WHO, approximately 70 off-screen photographs exist.
Since 1998 BBC AUDIOBOOKS has
successfully published the soundtracks of these missing stories, with addition
linking narration. This new MP3-CD series now marries the sound with the telesnaps,
to present a slideshow of images from the episodes and going some way to 'reconstructing'
the original film episodes.
