The Gunfighters

"Doc Wholiday and the Cowboys", "Gun Fight at the Cardboard Coral"

"The One Where The Brits Try to do a Western" (USA)

Doctor Who visits the dentist and ends up in the middle of a shootout while Dodo and Steven find their true calling in life.

*** - That bloody song is more infectious than SARS and three times as dangerous.

"Indians ? There better not be any bloody Indians in this" (William Hartnell is alleged to have claimed by Anneke Wills who wasn't technically there)

Doctor: [In the dentist's chair] "I never touch pants."
Holliday: "Well, I do."

In the right hands the Western can actually be an exciting and tense piece of drama. In the right hands…

The Chester Wallchart devoted a two page spread to a review of this story after it was discovered that the word "boring" can contain twenty seven thousand r's if the writer has the proper motivation.

The Past Doctor Adventure “The Golden Leaf” speculates that Doc Holiday is a future incarnation of The War Chief.

BBC Audience Research found that most people “ignored” this serial although opinions ranged from “quite ignored” it to “keenly ignored” it. One panellist opined that Dr Who had “run out of steam”.

"I recall my friend Peter Haining describing this story in his books as the worst "Doctor Who" story ever made. "Don't be pathetically stupid" I quipped once I had tricked him into opening his front door by pretending to be Jeremy Bentham (it's all in the walk), "Proper telehistorians do not cloud their fascinating technical judgements with anything as squalid as "opinion"". He then attempted to be clever by citing two hundred and fifteen alleged occasions on which I had used so called "opinions" but I was ready for him with a witty reply. "If you're going to be contemptuously childish I am going home." He felt bad and asked me in to meet his wife who had seen Story Z and opined that she enjoyed the song which is played throughout. "Don't be pathetically stupid, Mrs Haining" I said jokingly. "Everyone who isn't subnormal knows that 'music' is only produced when h-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l-s cannot find anything more sinful to do with their hands and mouths. If one must have music then I recommend you visit the audio rack in Bargainsave and purchase two or three cassette tapes of low cost copyright free music and use them instead." Peter Haining suggested I should leave at this point as it looked as if it was about to rain on the suspicious looking man who was trying to break into my car and drive round to my house to poison Ian Devine and set light to my home. I am truly blessed to have such kind and thoughtful friends as Peter Haining."
