Pure historical
Pure historicals are Doctor Who stories that are set in in a historical time period and feature no science fiction anachronisms other than the TARDIS team. (DWM 194)
Pure historicals were common in televised Doctor Who until The Highlanders in 1996. The only pure historical since then was Black Orchid in 1982.
The Time Meddler was the first historical story to introduce science fiction anachronisms with the Monk.
