Summary

Jamie Glover reads a thrilling novelisation of an adventure in history for the First Doctor.

It's 1794, and the TARDIS materialises some distance from Paris during the French Revolution, the scene of the infamous Reign of Terror. Soon the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara find themselves caught up in the tangled web of historical events.

Who is James Stirling, the master-spy to whom Ian must deliver a message? What world-shattering events are being discussed in a deserted inn off the Calais road? And can the Doctor and his friends escape a violent and bloody death at the dreaded guillotine?

Jamie Glover, who played William Russell in BBC TV's An Adventure in Space and Time, reads Nigel Robinson's novelisation of the 1964 TV serial by Dennis Spooner.

Evocative stuff!

Ian Marter was an exceptional writer of Who, and he transformed this quite involved story into one that is easy to understand and thrilling to experience. Jamie Glover provides a clear and really well performed reading. This is perfect for a dark night under the duvet, imagining this grim historical time with our favourite time travellers.

Very Entertaining.

A good old retro Doctor Who story from the William Hartnell times. All set during the French Revolution.
