The entire year is 1861, and the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey find themselves in the proper place at the incorrect time. At the rectory they encounter the ill-tempered Reverend Dobbs and his young ward Andrew, whose paper faces conceal whatever horrors lie beneath. Tutoring him is usually one Mr Bewley, whom Mrs Wibbsey can be startled to discover. In Hexford Woods, the physician uncovers a top secret which Andrew and his close friends have already been keeping. As the reality begins to emerge about the rectory’s occupants, it also becomes apparent why more and more people have disappeared through the village. Unless the physician and Mrs Wibbsey can help, the whole community will be terrorised by a child’s creativity… With Tom Baker as the Doctor, Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey, Terrence Hardiman as the Reverend Dobbs, Joanna David as Mrs Audley, Guy Harvey as Andrew, Simon Shepherd as Mr Bewley, Charlie Mitchell as Jake, Elinor Coleman as Sally, Geoff Leesley as Harold and Su Douglas as the Make, The Broken Crown may be the second of five connected stories compiled by Paul Magrs.
