When the TARDIS arrives outside the gates of Babylon the Doctor and his friends find themselves in the presence of Alexander the Great. But there is treachery at work as generals plot to overthrow the king and his men. When the travellers stand accused the Doctor and Ian must face trials while still trying to uncover the real murderers.
The editors of Nothing at the End of the Lane are proud to present Farewell Great Macedon, one of the earliest examples of an unused script from Doctor Who's very first season. Written in 1964 by then young writer Moris Farhi, the tale shows many of the hallmarks of the first season of the fledgling science-fiction series while also including many suggestions for other ways the show might have developed. Now you can enjoy this glimpse into those early formative years.
this is a fascinating glimpse of an unmade 1964 story. Even as a first draft script it is well written with strong accurate portraits of the TARDIS crew and solid interesting support characters. Very powerful and moving it is well worth reading. I'm looking forward to Big Finish's cd version next year, if they follow the script with just a little tweaking it should be very enjoyable indeed.
