Hee! Thanks. 5 is the one I remember watching when I was a kid. Although it's absolutely ages since I last wrote him, but he's still the only Doctor I feel confident writing.

I also liked the more ensemble nature of the era and the opportunity for a more family-type feel to the TARDIS crew, with the bickering, and that ties in best with the feel of Jake 2.0. And I kinda think Jake would've fit in well with the Davison era. The naivete and core decency of his character is a nice match to the young companions and the gentler fifth Doc.

I liked the interaction between Jake and the Doctor there, plus the reminders that the Doctor is an alien. The appearance of the Dalek was also a good touch.

I couldn't do this crossover without getting Jake vs. Dalek in there somewhere. *evil grin*
