And it’s the last of the pure historical adventures, until this very day. The fourth story of season 4 also sees a very different portrayal, or series of portrayals, by Patrick Troughton. The Doctor is still very much an unknown quantity and is still acting under the watchful eyes of Ben and Polly, while one James Robert McCrimmon gets introduced to the crew. The Highlanders takes place in a setting of 18th Century atrocities following the last battle of British soil, Culloden, while The Doctor seems to take a carefree and comedic approach to affairs. So there’s plenty to unpick with this almost entirely missing story. Tim is joined by Doctor Who historian Rhys Williams, and 3D modeller, artist and co-creator of Dalek 63:88, and now historian Gav Rymill to take a look at this most curious of missing adventures, then it’s off on a world tour to work out whether one day we might get to see any more… So fire up the bagpipes, pick up your sword and scream “Creag an Tuirc!” as we take a running charge at The Highlanders.

    Special Edition: Film is Fabulous!

    Film is Fabulous! is the organisation dedicated to preserving vulnerable film collections across the UK — a mission that resonates deeply with fans of lost television treasures, especially those captivated by the thought of missing Doctor Who episodes.

    In this episode, Tim is joined by three key members and trustees of the Film is Fabulous! team: established film collector John Franklin, De Montfort University’s Professor Justin Smith, and Sue Malden, the renowned former Head of Broadcast Archives at the BBC.

    Together, they delve into the organisation’s recent progress, their new recognition as a Charitable Trust, and some eyebrow-raising remarks that have sparked fresh speculation — could some long-lost Doctor Who episodes still exist within UK film collections?

    Support us on Patreon 👉https://www.patreon.com/missingepisodes 🙌 Tip us on https://ko-fi.com/missingeps Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/drwhopodcasters The Doctor Who Missing Episodes Podcast is back! Our next story in the regular series is the last of the pure historicals—making it the perfect time to reflect on the place of the historical adventure in early Doctor Who. To mark the occasion, Tim is joined by historian, broadcaster, and co-host of the acclaimed The Rest Is History podcast, Dominic Sandbrook. Dominic’s work on post-war Britain often considers how television both shaped and reflected the culture of the time—Doctor Who included. In this special episode, he discusses his love for the show, the historicals, their context, and how they fit into the broader legacy of the show’s formative years. So pull the caravan into a way station, put the human sacrifice on hold and delay storming the Bastille, because the podcast hiatus is over, literally the rest is history. (Sorry).
