City of Spires (audio story)

 was the one hundred and thirty-third monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It was the first part of Big Finish's wholly original season for the Sixth Doctor in 2010. In isolation this story can be seen as the first performed Doctor Who story which featured any incarnation of the Doctor reuniting with Jamie after Jamie had his memories of the Doctor wiped by the Time Lords in DW: The War Games. However as is made clear in the final story of this trilogy; Legend of the Cybermen this was not the case, rather it is a sequel to The Mind Robber.

Publisher's summary
Arriving in a hail of musket fire, the Sixth 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...

Continuity

 * Jamie's memory of the Doctor, apart from their first adventure, was wiped by the Time Lords at the end of DW: The War Games.
 * The events of DW: The Highlanders and DW: The War Games are mentioned, as are companions Ben Jackson and Polly Wright.
 * The "Phantom Piper" that Jamie thought he saw in DW: The Moonbase is mentioned.
 * The Doctor states that the Battle of Culloden was in 1745. In actuality, it took place on 16 April 1746. The same mistake was made in The Highlanders forty-three years earlier. Events in the Doctor Who universe don't necessarily coincide with real world events.
 * The Doctor informs Jamie that "the assembled hoardes of Genghis Khan couldn't open the TARDIS", much as the Ninth Doctor told Rose Tyler in DW: Rose.
 * The Doctor says that he thought Jamie was dead, possibly a reference to DWM: The World Shapers.
