THE GUNFIGHTERS. Written by Donald Cotton. 4 episodes.
30th April - 21st May 1966.
A Holiday for the Doctor, Don't Shoot the Pianist, Johnny Ringo,
The O.K. Corral.
COMPANIONS:- Steven and Dodo.
After breaking a tooth on a boiled sweet, the Doctor arrives in the Wild
West. Seeking out a dentist, he meets the infamous Doc Hoiliday and becomes
embroiled in the events leading up to the famous gunfight.
This is widely regarded as the worst ever Dr Who adventure. The sets
were poor, the script awful, the acting terrible and the fake American
accents more suited to amateur night at the local theatre than the Wild
West. The viewing figures dipped below the horizontal for the first time
and the poor response to the story more or less decided the fate of the
historical adventures.
THE GUNFIGHTERS was the last story to feature episodes with their own
titles. Having seen the story recently, I can honestly say that this is
the only remotely interesting thing about it!
