Summary: 5 Stars
I personally found this adventure to be thoroughly enjoyable. The Doctor & company land in a Scottish Glenn in 1745, when British Redcoats were doing battle against Scottish Highlanders, in a battle of those who supported King George and the so-called royal pretender Prince Charles Edward. Here, they befriend the Clan McClarron and meet their piper, James Robert McCrimmon, or just Jamie (who would become a very popular companion throughout the remainder of Patrick Troughton's tenure as the Doctor). Soon they are captured, and separated as well, thus sets in motion what is basically a semi-historical, action comedy adventure. Patrick Troughton is in fine form as he continues to establish his own interpretation of the Doctor, as he proves to be sharp minded, quick-witted, energetic with the ability to think on his feet, and very funny as well as he pretends to be a German Doctor by using an outrageously funny accent, luring the opposition into a false sense of security and catching them offguard. The scenes where he's disguised as an old woman are simply priceless. Anneke Wills demonstrates considerable intelligence, courage, level-headedness and cunning as she and Kirsty McClarron blackmail Algernon Ffinch into protecting them from the Redcoats, and attempt to find the Doctor, rescue Ben and the rest of Kirsty's family. Michael Craze also demonstrates confidence and strength in the face of adversity as he faces the possibility of enslavement along with Jamie and the other Highland Rebels. truly a classic in its own right. So what if it's only loosely based on an actual historical event, it's an enjoyable adventure. a must-have for any Dr. Who fan.
