City of Spires (audio story)

City of Spires was the first part of Big Finish's wholly original season for the Sixth Doctor in 2010. It was notable for being the first performed Doctor Who story which featured any incarnation of the Doctor reuniting with Jamie at a time after Jamie had his memories of the Doctor wiped by the Time Lords. As such, it was a sequel to The War Games.

Synopsis
Arriving in a hail of musket fire, the Doctor unexpectedly finds himself in the highlands of Scotland, where the ruthless Black Donald and his band of rebels are fighting the Redcoats. But the highland warriors no longer fight for the Jacobite cause and the English officers answer only to the mysterious Overlord. What has happened to Scotland and why are its moors littered with advanced, oil-pumping technology?

Reunited with his faithful companion Jamie McCrimmon, the Doctor must venture into the sinister City of Spires to find the answers. But standing in his way is the deadly Red Cap…
