The Second Doctor, Ben, Polly and Jamie are off to Victorian London. “I did a couple of different outlines before we settled on this story,” says Justin Richards, writer of The Morton Legacy. “There was one on another planet, in a city full of robots, but they wanted something more down-to-Earth, and I suppose I was thinking vaguely about Bleak House, with the court case that goes on forever, so it all grew from there – and I always like doing things that are set in museums or collections.”
Anneke Wills plays Polly in The Morton Legacy.
“It’s about a man called Josiah Morton,” explains Frazer Hines, who voices Jamie and the Doctor. “He lives in a big, old house, and he’s got a museum of artefacts from South America and Africa and various other places. He nicks the TARDIS, because he thinks it’s a very interesting artefact.”
