It's one of Polly's better stories, and of course introduces Jamie as a regular; a couple of odd changes of detail from the TV version, but this is basically a narrative that hangs together on its own merits. Unfortunately there is still something of a sense of the author writing down what appears on the screen. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

History books don't always tell the whole story. Certainly there is no record of an episode that occurred when the Scots, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, were defeated by the English at the battle of Culloden in 1746... And the presence at the time of a blue police box on the Scottish moors seems to have escaped the notice of most eye-witnesses... The Highlanders sets the record straight. And while the incidents described may not be of great interest to historians, for Jamie McCrimmon they mark the beginning of a series of extraordinary adventures. Anneke Wills, who played the Doctor's companion Polly in the original BBC TV serial, reads Gerry Davis's complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1984. 4 CDs. 3 hrs 33 mins.

Polly, for the second story in a row, is based on sexuality and attraction being a motivating factor. I can't entirely discredit this as invalid in the series - it's not like social norms are somehow exempt from historical depiction, but the *way* it tends to go with Polly is a little cringe-worthy, and something I don't look forward to my daughters to reading. In the end, it saved everyone's lives... so, urgh, even more complicated.
Happy to have Jamie's introduction settled. He'll have a lot of character growth to go through to become the staid second Doctor companion he's remembered as. I'm hoping that the inclusion is treated honestly, and that he and Ben end up fighting. That Ben groaning at the suggestion of Jamie's inclusion (based largely on his being a source of competition over Polly... yes, this is a soap opera at heart) was a good character moment.
It was also nice to have the strong suggestion that the second Doctor, Ben, and Polly did quite a bit of traveling between Power of the Daleks and Highlanders - - I'm not used to that treatment of time in the early stories. Maybe I'd overlooked it before. Maybe it was added by Gerry Davis. Whatever the case - Enjoyable read! ( )
