Suggestions for a Dr. Who / Torchwood crossover

[ffutures]

One of the things I've been working on is a "Five Things" story for Captain Jack - minor spoilers for Utopia onward follow:



We know Captain Jack got thrown back in time to the 1860s. I want to write a story spanning that period, each chapter a crossover with something appropriate to the period.

1870-80s - a western of some sort - one of the Clint Eastwood films, I think.

1890s - the Buffyverse, Spike's encounter with Dracula and the reason Dracula owes him money. I think that this will be a poker game, or some other card game. Or possibly rat-baiting or similar.

1920s-30s - not sure yet, maybe something set in America e.g. The Grapes of Warth / The Great Gatsby / Thoroughly Modern Millie, but Cabaret might be fun if I can find a plot handle. Or Indiana Jones for that matter.

1966 - Lois & Clark (or Superman Returns for those who prefer that) - Kansas in the 1960s and the arrival of a small capsule from the planet Krypton. I've already written that, but I don't want it to be the first part of the story.

1970s-80s - one of the classic cop shows. The Sweeny? Kojak? Miami Vice? or take it a little later and make it Columbo or Hill Street Blues?

So, suggestions for all of the above (apart from 1966) would be appreciated.

What about Jack solving the Jack the Ripper mystery during the 1880s? Or, the slain hookers were actually aliens and he's...Jack the Ripper himself? Just completely misinterpreted by the local constabulary?

I love the opportunities Jack represents in telling all sorts of fun, pulpy stories. Maybe even being part of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and going on mad adventures of literary heroes? Gah! Now I'm having thoughts!

No no no NO to the Ripper - most over-used plot coupon ever! And no to the League, I'm afraid, I really think that only Alan Moore does them properly. Besides, I really want to write a Spike & Drac confrontation.

"No no no NO to the Ripper - most over-used plot coupon ever!"

Ahahaha, now I feel like a TOTAL tool. Meeting Mark Twain is probably in the same boat, isn't it? I kinda hate myself for still wanting to see it.

Speaking of Moore creations that always seem fun to play with but is probably very hard to do thanks to the fact Moore already played with them so damn well - Promethea. I think Promethea's brand of pan-sexuality is something Jack would enjoy very much.

So you don't think Captain Jack should meet V?

Nice idea, but a bit AU for the Dr. Who timeline.
