Riding into town comes Bleeding Cool with more news on IDW writer Tony Lee’s contemporary Western The Mild Bunch – developed in collaboration with Second Doctor companion Frazer Hines; and it’s a fabulous concept.
Until now…
…and now the rusty gun must be holstered. The tin badge must be shined. But will our Magnificent Seven ride again?
As reported previously, Lee and Hines had long been attending the same Doctor Who conventions and had begun talking about their own ambitions, with Hines bemoaning the lack of good parts for actors of a certain age in films.
As Lee himself explains:
Hines didn’t have a concept in mind, just one detail; he’d like to ride a horse. Lee sprang into action and began working on what is now tentatively titled The Mild Bunch.
With an idea taking shape, Hines began rounding up the old gang that would added the ‘bunch’ to that title; joining him will be Sixth Doctor Colin Baker, John Challis of Only Fools and Horses and Doctor Who serial Seeds of Doom, and Vikki Michelle of ‘Allo ‘Allo.
And the cast can’t wait to get started:
