The Roundheads is a BBC Books original novel written by Mark Gatiss and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Second Doctor, Ben, Jamie, and Polly.
As with all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the televised serials is open to interpretation.
Landing in December of 1648 after the end of Second English Civil War, the TARDIS crew gets involved with intrigue involving both the victorious Oliver Cromwell and the doomed Charles I.
