• “History must take its course.”

• Demon Records presents, for the first time on double 140g green and yellow translucent vinyl, the complete narrated TV soundtrack of ‘Doctor Who: The Crusade’, with linking narration by William Russell.

• The TARDIS travellers materialise in 12th Century Palestine, where English Crusaders are engaged in a holy war with Saladin, ruler of the Saracens. When Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) is abducted in a Saracen ambush, the Doctor (William Hartnell), Vicki (Maureen O’Brien) and Ian (William Russell) find themselves guests at the palace of King Richard the Lionheart (Julian Glover).

• First broadcast in March and April 1965, the story has become a noted classic among Doctor Who historical adventures, with a guest cast including Julian Glover and Jean Marsh.

• Only two of its four episodes survive in the BBC TV archive, but this vinyl release features the complete audio soundtrack. Includes beautifully illustrated individual sleeves featuring Radio Times-style billings for each episode.

• This release is dedicated to the memory of narrator William Russell, who died in June aged 99.

• Doctor Who is available now on BBC iPlayer in the UK and on Disney+ in the rest of the world, where available.
