About this listen
Peter Purves reads this original adventure featuring the First Doctor, Steven and Sara, set in the First World War.
"The Battle of the Somme is the pivotal moment of this conflict… History hinges on it!”
It’s the start of August 1916, and war is raging on the battlefields of France. In the front line trenches, British soldiers are vanishing without trace. Captain Mark Steadman witnesses one of his comrades being pulled down beneath the mud, and realises that something is terribly wrong.
When three civilians and a large blue box arrive on the scene, Steadman finds himself helping in their enquiries. The Doctor declares that something has gone wrong with the timeline of the War; the Battle of the Somme should have already begun, yet there is no sign of it. He demands an audience with Field Marshall Haig! A crater in no-man’s land reveals the grisly horror of the missing men’s fate, and brings the Doctor and his friends into terrible danger. There are forces at work here which even he can’t fully comprehend.
Peter Purves, who played Steven in the BBC TV series, reads this powerful new story by Justin Richards.

In 18th Century coastal Italy, the local fishermen haul in an extraordinary catch: a gigantic serpent. The Doctor identifies it as an alien, but to the ailing locals this fabled sea creature has the capacity to heal them - if only Count Otto will share it with them. When Mrs Wibbsey comes under the influence of the Count, the Doctor finds himself snared by the wicked power of a seemingly immortal magician, the infamous Cagliostro!

The TARDIS crewmembers have taken a break from their adventures and are enjoying a rest in a luxury villa. But, in the gory grandeur that is Imperial Rome, things don't stay quiet. If the time travellers can save themselves from being sold as slaves, assassinated by classical hit-men, poisoned by the evil Locusta, thrown to the lions, maimed in the arena and drowned in a shipwreck, they still have to face the diabolical might of the mad Emperor Nero. As if that wasn't enough, they also discover that, although Rome wasn't built in a day, it burnt down in considerably less time.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Peter Purves can do this stuff in this sleep, but always when I hear his voice, I'm transported back in time to an era of television from before I was even born and conjures the trenches in monochrome black and white.
While the story and a lot of the thematic elements are a little too grisly to be for the world of Doctor Who in the early 60s, (even when the show went pure historical, I think the Great War and a lot of the horrors within would have been avoided in the show proper) it still captures that magic, especially with Purves' impersonation of Hartnell containing the magic of the character. I wasn't expecting this to be the start of a storyline of World-War One set stories, so I'm looking forward to where it's going.
As always, Purves delivers
