Doctor Who: The Gunfighters - A Historical Showdown in Tombstone

Based on the information from the provided website 
[invalid URL the gunfighters doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], 
here's a review of Doctor Who: The Gunfighters:

Story

The TARDIS materializes in the American Wild West town 
of Tombstone in 1878. The Doctor, Steven, and Dodo 
encounter Doc Holliday, a real-life historical figure, 
 and  get  caught  in  a  conflict  with  a  ruthless 
 cattle baron  named  Leatherbarrow.  The  serial  
 explores  themes  of  justice,  friendship,  
 and  the  Doctor's  influence  on  historical  events.

Review (Based on Summary)

    Historical Setting: "The Gunfighters" takes viewers 
	back to a fascinating period in American history, 
	offering a glimpse into the Wild West.
	
    Real-Life Historical Figure: The inclusion of Doc Holliday 
	adds a layer of historical intrigue and raises questions 
	about the Doctor's interaction with real people.
	
    Classic Western Themes: The serial appears to explore 
	classic Western themes like justice, friendship, 
	and showdowns, providing a familiar yet intriguing 
	backdrop for the Doctor's adventures.

Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information):

    Accuracy of Historical Events: Classic Doctor Who often 
	took liberties with historical accuracy. The depiction 
	of the Wild West and Doc Holliday might not be entirely 
	faithful to history.
	
    Limited Companion Roles: The summary doesn't detail 
	much about Steven and Dodo's roles in the narrative.
	
    Slow Pacing in Classic Who: Classic Doctor Who sometimes 
	featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations.

Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope)

"The Gunfighters"  offers  a  unique  blend  of  science fiction
  and  Western  genre,  set  against  the  backdrop  of  a  pivotal
  historical  period.  The  involvement  of  a  real-life  figure  
  like  Doc Holliday  adds  another  layer  of  interest.

Would I Recommend Watching It?

    For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 
	(Likely worth watching especially if you enjoy historical 
	settings and classic Western themes)
	
    For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The historical setting
	might be interesting, but the slower pace, potential inaccuracy,
	and less focus on companions could be drawbacks)

Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide:

    If possible, try to find reviews of the entire serial for a more 
	complete picture.
	
    Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. 
	If you're new to classic Who, consider watching earlier stories
	featuring the First Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics
	and storytelling before diving into "The Gunfighters".
	
    If historical accuracy is important to you, you might want 
	to research the depiction of the Wild West and Doc Holliday 
	in the serial to manage your expectations.

I hope this helps!  If you can find more information about the entire 
serial, I can provide a more comprehensive review.
