Dr Who and the Smugglers
Excellent Audio Book. Anneke does the linking materials well. I never really liked the historical stories (purely preferred monster stories), but this and a couple of others (Reign of terror and the Highlanders) are making me revise my opinions. I think this my favourite 'Who' historical Stories. The Doctor usually is not allowed to change history, but in this story you feel he actually doing something rather than just passing through some historical events as he does in the Romans, the Aztecs, and The Crusades etc. The story is beautifully set in Cornwell and has action packed climax. If you want to buy one historical Dr. Who, try this one.

Bill's final season
The Smugglers is the last but one Dr Who story to feature William Hartnell as the orginal Doctor. It is one of many missing TV stories of the 60's - however the soundtrack still exists, and with excellent restoration and narration to explain on screen movements. This double CD is a must for all fans, especially Hartnell fans. The story was the beggining of the fourth season of Dr Who and is one of the 1st stories to feature Ben and Polly.

time travelling fun
well this is certainly a fun romp through time with the doctor, and for the first doctor one of the best historical ones. As far as historical accurracy of the time though I would doubt it potrays much more than a popular fictional view but good fun nonetheless (interestingly I think the locals would have been speaking cornish not english at the time. It is also very nicely packaged without any dated feel. good fun stuff.
