When the TARDIS arrives outside the gates of Babylon the Doctor and his friends find themselves in the presence of Alexander the Great. But there is treachery at work as generals plot to overthrow the king and his men. When the travellers stand accused the Doctor and Ian must face trials while still trying to uncover the real murderers.

The editors of Nothing at the End of the Lane are proud to present Farewell Great Macedon, one of the earliest examples of an unused script from Doctor Who's very first season. Written in 1964 by then young writer Moris Farhi, the tale shows many of the hallmarks of the first season of the fledgling science-fiction series while also including many suggestions for other ways the show might have developed. Now you can enjoy this glimpse into those early formative years.

This volume reproduces the actual scripts and is rounded off with a forwarding article looking at the history of Moris' involvement with the production office and how the scripts came to be written as well as background on the real historical figures and reviews from several Doctor Who historians, plus a special edition of the DWM Time Team.

Included is a bonus opening script for another early submission from Moris Farhi - The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance; and a brief history of Moris' distinguished career.

What’s most remarkable is that the characterisation of the TARDIS crew and its dynamic is almost spot-on.
-Paul Scoones

Historical accuracy is a cornerstone of this story, and Farhi’s sleeve-notes are proof that the writer did a lot of homework.
-Jeremy Bentham

In every episode there are high-minded ethical disputes, and the stage directions ask for more tears than even Rose Tyler was ever called upon to shed.
