Classic Who: The Smugglers

I watched this and The Highlanders out of sequence so that I could make sure I'd seen all the early historicals before leaving to give a paper about them at the CA! That was worth doing from the point of view of the paper, but a bit of a pity otherwise, because both involved new characters whom I hadn't seen introduced properly. Still, without having had the benefit of Ben and Polly's formal introduction, this is what I made of The Smugglers.
