'Jamie' (2 Parts) by Mark Wrighth

James Robert McCrimmon faced countless horrors while travelling with the Doctor, but when the Time Lords returned the Highlander to his rightful place in history, almost all those memories were lost to him. Now the Doctor is back and needs his old friend by his side for more adventures - but this time they're missions set by the sinister Raven.

From the streets of 18th-century Edinburgh to the deserted corridors of a medical facility in the far future, and a human colony where darkness reigns, Jamie must first confront the greatest trauma of all - his own memories.

Mysterious dreams of lives never lived haunt an ailing prisoner in Edinburgh Castle, in the year 1776. Meanwhile, the Doctor arrives on another reluctant mission for the Time Lords, with the enigmatic Raven observing his every move.

How is the Doctor’s erstwhile travelling companion, Jamie McCrimmon, connected with the terrifying deaths that plague the streets in the shadow of the castle? And will Jamie ever really know his true self again?

Notes:

*Featuring the Second Doctor and Jamie

*A Big Finish Audio Production

*Time-placing: This story reintroduces Jamie, so takes place prior to 'The Annihilators'; the Doctor mentions Cape Wrath, implying this occurs not long after 'Wrath of the Ice Warriors', so given the multitude of stories with the Second Doctor travelling alone, I'm placing all his solo stories between the box set stories 'The Final Beginning' and 'Wrath of the Ice Warriors'
