How The West Was Lost

Title: How the West Was Lost
Author: lost_spook
Characters: Third Doctor, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Rating: All Ages / PG (There is much typical Carry On-ness and some comic violence).
Other: Set between Inferno and Terror of the Autons.  Crossover with Carry On Cowboy.

Summary: What the good citizens of Stodge City want is a US peace Marshal to run the Rumpo Kid out of town. What they get is a confused sanitation engineer, demure Miss Oakley with a rifle in her trunk, an elegant Time Lord who's the livin' spit of the dead Sheriff and a sceptical Brigadier who might just be the only man in the town who can shoot straight.  The Wild West was never like this...

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who; the BBC does.  And I wouldn't dream of laying claim to the Carry On franchise, which is property of Gerald Thomas & Peter Rogers (I presume)

(Edit: It's now complete.)

As I noted a few entries below, Carry On Cowboy has Jon Pertwee as the ill-fated Sheriff, Angela Douglas (aka Doris Lethbridge-Stewart) as Annie Oakley, and Peter Butterworth as the Doc (The Meddling Monk).  It's crying out for a comic crossover with many dodgy accents and much trying of the Brigadier's patience.

Taster:
“I suppose,” said the Doctor, putting a hand to his chin, “I suppose, that given the right equipment, I might just be able to push the console into making the return trip. Last time I tried, it needed a great deal of energy, but I seem to have made a good job of patching up the central column. Probably what made this possible. As I said, I merely wondered if I could persuade it to make a short hop backwards with the repairs I’ve made lately.”

The Brigadier folded his arms. “When we get back, I’m confiscating the thing.”

“Oh, do be reasonable,” he said. “You know I didn’t intend for this to happen. I’d hardly have chosen to bring you along with me if I had!”

He sighed. “Very well. What sort of things do we need?”

To his annoyance, the Doctor merely looked amused and tried to hide laughter.

“What?”

He coughed. “Well, we either need to rob a hardware store, or start by holding up the bank.”
