Wonderful
Close your eyes, set Highlanders to play, and instantly travel back in time to the 60s, with the original b&w fuzzy opening credits, and the original music introducing Jamie’s first appearance.
The story is great fun; adventure, humour, cliffhangers, the lot.
Great narration linking the scenes, great performances, if you love the original DW stories, don’t pass this one up.

Jamie, a Scot is about meet the Doctor
Where does Doctor Who rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
There at the top - although only listened to a few other books and genres
What did you like best about this story?
You can picture yourself in 18th century Scotland with a prime seat to watch the English fight the Scots with the new Doctor and his three companions caught in the middle and with divided loyalties
What about Patrick Troughton and full cast ’s performance did you like?
The next best thing to watching this on DVD - which you can't as it does not exist on video anymore
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The English Officer being forced to help the Scottish women

historical fun & frolics
The description may suggest a very stern Doctor Who story but 'The Highlanders' is actually delightful entertainment of the very best quality. This is a cheeky, enjoyable romp through history with Patrick Troughton getting the chance to flex his comic muscles by pretending to be a dotty old German medic.
It's sad that the original episodes have been lost but this works beautifully as an audiobook. Frazer Hines delivers descriptions of the action with charm and brevity. It also worth noting that this storyline sees the debut of his character Jamie.
Essential listening for all Doctor Who fans.

Couldn't be better...
My favourite ever Doctor Who story. I love historical elements which mix brilliantly with the comical elements we know of Patrick Troughton.
