‘Nobody who all crosses Pike lives to inform the story!’ The rugged Cornwall of the past is the picture for first Doctor William Hartnell’s 1966 foray in to the murky globe of pirates and hidden treasure. The TARDIS lands on the seventeenth hundred years Cornish coast, and its crew stumble upon a story by the neighborhood Squire to receive and offload contraband goods. The Doctor meets the churchwarden, whose last phrases to him concern the whereabouts of hidden treasure. When pirate captain Samuel Pike discovers of the, he kidnaps the physician and demands to be given the cryptic hint. With the treasure uncovered as well as the militia called in by the local Revenue officer, a bloody battle ensues – can the physician, Ben and Polly get away with their lives? This full-bodied, romantic yarn is normally narrated by Anneke Wills, who played companion Polly. It also features Michael Trend as Ben and Michael Godfrey as Pike.
