C04S04 The Highlanders
Synopsis
The TARDIS arrives in Scotland, shortly after the imfamous battle of Culloden in 1746. The Doctor, Ben and Polly are soon captured by fleeing Highlanders. The Doctor gains the Highlanders trust by giving medical aid to their injured Laird, but the respite is short when they are soon all taken prisoner by English Redcoats.
Using cunning, disguise and blackmail, the Doctor and Polly must save their friends from being either executed or transported to the West Indies. However, is this one adventure where there is no escape?
