Night's Black Agents was a Companion Chronicle starring Frazer Hines. He played an apparently older version of Jamie McCrimmon who had been reunited with the Sixth Doctor long after he had his memories of his travels with the Second Doctor wiped by the Time Lords in TV: The War Games.

Publisher's summary

Jamie McCrimmon and his new friend the Sixth Doctor are lost on the moors of Scotland, where the legendary Kelpie roams...

They are offered shelter by the Reverend Merodach, the minister of the parish of Lammermoor, and are welcomed to his castle. But strange forces are at work within its walls, and Merodach is not what he appears.

Can the Doctor and Jamie prevent their powerful enemy from taking the TARDIS for himself?
