The Crusade

The Crusade

The TARDIS materialises in 12th Century Palestine, where King Richard the Lionheart is waging war against the Saracen ruler, Saladin.

As the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara explore their surroundings, they are caught up in a Saracen ambush; Barbara is kidnapped, whilst her friends are welcomed at King Richard’s palace in Jaffa. Intrigue and espionage ensue, as the travellers once more become involved in history.

This classic adventure, only one episode of which survives in the BBC film library, stars William Hartnell as the Doctor, William Russell as Ian, Jacqueline Hill as Barbara, and Carole Ann Ford as Susan. Also in the cast are Julian Glover as King Richard, with Jean Marsh as his sister Joanna.

This CD release also features William Russell recalling his memories of recording the television serial.
