The Forsaken (audio story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
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.
Publisher's summary
The TARDIS lands on an island off Singapore during the Japanese invasion of 1942. The travellers are found by some British soldiers - among them a certain Private James Jackson, who just happens to be Ben's father. But they're not the only visitors to the island...
