The Glorious Revolution is a Big Finish Productions audiobook based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. In it, Frazer Hines reprises his role as Jamie McCrimmon.

The Companion Chronicles "talking books" are each narrated by one of the Doctor's companions and feature a second, guest-star voice along with music and sound effects.

Plot[]

Time goes wrong for the Doctor in 1688,^[1] when King James II fights the Glorious Revolution.

Cast[]

• Jamie McCrimmon – Frazer Hines
• The Visitor/King James II – Andrew Fettes

Notes[]

• After being returned to his own time by the Time Lords in The War Games, Jamie married Kirsty McLaren, a major guest character in his debut serial The Highlanders as played by Hannah Gordon. They went on to have at least eight children and numerous grandchildren by 1788.
• In the alternative timeline briefly created by Jamie in this story, the Glorious Revolution was a failure and James II retained the throne until his death. Consequently, the Jacobite risings (1688–1746) and Battle of Culloden never took place and James II's grandson Charles Edward Stuart, better known as Bonnie Prince Charles, eventually ascended to the throne as Charles III. He was still the reigning monarch in 1788. As the Young Pretender died on 31 January 1788 in real life, this would seem to indicate that this audio drama's frame story takes place during January 1788. However, it is possible that he lived longer in the alternative timeline than in real history.
• Jamie says he is often mistaken for Mad Hamish. This is a reference to actor Hamish Wilson who temporarily played the part of Jamie in the TV story The Mind Robber, when Frazer Hines came down with chicken pox.
