The Forsaken was the second story of the second season of The Early Adventures. It was written by Simon Guerrier and featured the Second Doctor (voiced by Frazer Hines), Ben Jackson (voiced by Elliot Chapman), Polly Wright, and Jamie McCrimmon. It was notable by the fact that Ben met his father, James Jackson. In keeping with the show's decision to abandon pure historical stories after The Highlanders, this story contained scifi elements.
