Medicinal Purposes is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Contents

Plot

Edinburgh, 1827. Body snatchers William Burke and William Hare are on the loose while the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn take an interest in the work of Dr Robert Knox.

Cast

Continuity

Knox meets the Doctor and Evelyn again in Assassin in the Limelight.

Notes

This is one of the last stories, and the last Doctor Who story, that David Tennant would record for Big Finish before being cast as the Tenth Doctor. After leaving the TV series, Tennant was cast as William Burke in the film Burke and Hare, based on the historical murders, but left the film before it began production.[1]
