Peter Purves reads John Lucarotti's novelisation of his classic
First Doctor TV adventure. The TARDIS lands in Paris on 19 August
1572. Driven by scientific curiosity, the Doctor goes to meet and
exchange views with the apothecary, Charles Preslin. Before he
disappears, he warns Steven to stay 'out of mischief, religion and
politics'. But in 16th Century Paris it is impossible to remain a
mere observer, and Steven soon finds himself involved with a group
of Huguenots. The Protestant minority of France is being threatened
by the Catholic hierarchy, and danger stalks the Paris streets. As
Steven tries to find his way back to the TARDIS he discovers that
one of the main persecutors of the Huguenots appears to be...the
Doctor! Peter Purves, who played Steven in the original BBC TV
series, reads this novelisation of a fondly remembered classic
story, the original episodes of which are lost from the BBC
archives.
