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.

For the late 1800s, I'm thinking it would be totally in character for Jack to be the Immortal - at least the one that messes with Angel and Spike and has Darla and Drusilla at the same time, with the possibility that the one based in Rome in the present day is somebody else taking over the legend.

For the 70s, perhaps not a Jack the Ripper bit, but an encounter with Ripper, i.e. rebellious youthful Giles?

Trouble with that is that The Immortal is supposed to have been around for centuries, which doesn't really fit.

Re Ripper, I only want to do one Buffyverse crossover, and someone else is already writing a Buffyverse / Live On Mars crossover with him in it.

Ah, but all we know about the Immortal for sure is his interaction with the Scourge in the flashback. All the stuff about him spending 150 years in a monastery, etc., could be Jack blowing smoke about his origins and past. Although I'm also partial to having TI be R'as al Ghul as played by Liam Neeson.

Pity about Ripper - imagine the slash potential in him, Ethan, and Jack...
