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.

Don't actually want them all horror. I think the Buffyverse one will do for that.

Ah, but if it involves Kolchak investigating Jack, expecting him to be some creep who survives by cutting out people's glands or something, and it turns out not to be the case, it can be comedy of errors rather than actual horror.

For 70s crossovers, you could also go with the Brady Bunch, or if you want to go more British, how about the Tomorrow People?
