Episode 30: The Highlanders

Doctor Who: the World Enough and Time podcast

In our 30th episode we travel back to 1966 and even further back to Culloden Moor for a tale of Jacobite intrigue which continues to flesh out the newly regenerated Second Doctor and introduces everyone's favourite piper: Jamie McCrimmon. Neither Andy or Alex were familiar with the story but find much here to enjoy despite all the terrible accents and the oooh-arrghhhing of the stereotypical Trask. Polly comes under fire, the Doctor's character goes under the microscope and the fact that this is the last pure historical until Black Orchid is discussed. However, the biggest question remains 'What in the world is Hannah Gordon doing to the Laird in *that* telesnap?!' As usual there is time to stray beyond Doctor Who, this time into Dynasty and the film Working Girl. And of course there's the Cailleach and a quiz on the introductory lines of Target novelisations. Enjoy! We love you xxx Next Time: Revenge of the Cybermen Big thanks to Clayton Hickman for the photo colourisation.
