 Doctor Who: The Highlanders - A Historical Adventure with a New Doctor 
  
 Based on the information from the provided website 
 [invalid URL the doctor who the highlanders ON Chakoteya. 
 net], here's a review of Doctor Who: The Highlanders: 
  
 Story 
  
 The TARDIS materialises in the Scottish Highlands in 1746, 
 shortly  after  the  Battle  of  Culloden.  The Doctor 
 (now in his second incarnation) and his new companions 
 Polly and Jamie  find  themselves  caught  in  the  midst 
  of  the  Jacobite Rebellion.  The  serial  explores  themes 
  of  loyalty,  war,  and  historical  events. 
  
 Review (Based on Summary): 
  
     Historical Setting: "The Highlanders" takes viewers back 
  to a pivotal moment in Scottish history, offering a glimpse 
  into the Jacobite Rebellion. This provides a unique historical 
  backdrop for the Doctor's adventures. 
   
     Introduction of Companions: This serial introduces Polly and Jamie, 
  companions who will travel with the Second Doctor for a considerable 
  amount of time. Seeing their dynamic with the new Doctor is a point 
  of interest for fans. 
   
     Limited Historical Accuracy: Classic Doctor Who often took liberties 
  with historical accuracy. The depiction of the Jacobite Rebellion 
  might not be entirely faithful to history. 
  
 Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): 
  
     Classic Who's Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured 
  a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. 
   
     Audio-Only Format: The serial only exists in audio form, 
  meaning no visuals of the historical setting or characters 
  are available. 
  
 Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope) 
  
 "The Highlanders"  offers  a  blend  of  science fiction 
 and  historical  drama.  The  introduction  of  new  companions 
 adds  another  layer  to  the  narrative.  However, 
 the  lack  of  visuals  and  potential  historical  inaccuracies 
 might  be  drawbacks. 
  
 Would I Recommend Watching It? 
  
     For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 5/10 
  (Only recommended if you're comfortable with 
  audio dramas and enjoy historical settings. 
  The introduction of companions might be interesting) 
   
     For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 3/10 (The historical 
  setting might hold some interest, but the audio-only 
  format and slower pace could be significant disadvantages) 
  
 Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: 
  
     Since this serial only exists in audio form, watching it might 
  not be the traditional viewing experience. 
   
     Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. 
  If you're new to classic Who and interested in the Second Doctor, 
  consider watching other stories with Polly and Jamie 
  (that have visuals) to get a feel for the era's aesthetics 
  and storytelling before diving into "The Highlanders". 
  
 I hope this helps!  While  the  historical  setting  might 
 be  interesting,  the  audio-only format  is  a  significant 
 consideration.
