Loose the Ballard and it works as a fun comedy (whether intentional or not) 
Regards
mark687 But with the Ballad it's even better... 
I love Donald Cotton's high-comedy novels of both this and 'The Myth Makers' and the alternative and much lighter way the fourth 'episode' is handled, very differently from the TV story - presumably the serious conclusion to both TV stories came from the production team when the writer wanted the stories to be comedies.

Humming that bloody theme shopping around Tesco, wtf is happening? ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH I wrote some special lyrics for you if that's any help mate...? *innocent face*
The Ballad of Timelord's End-of-the-Week Shopping
It's your last chance for shopping! It's your last chance to buy!
It's your last chance for offers
And new products to try! Then you pay from your coffers and it's Friday afternoon... But 'that bloody theme's still humming...
(It's "The Last Chance Saloon") (Sorry Timelord, I couldn't resist! I will behave  ) |

(It's "The Last Chance Saloon") (Sorry Timelord, I couldn't resist! I will behave ) This had me in hysterics, awesomeness  It's so good I was half-singing it at the shopping centre and it started migrating down the aisle from person-to-person in bits and pieces (a hum here, a da-dee-dee-da-da there). I'm not sure if that's catchy or catching, but bravo all the same. |

lol! Thanks guys I'm glad you enjoyed it! After all this chat about 'The Gunfighters' I'm going to have to watch it again this weekend. No hardship though, I love the story, ballad and all! |

Just a word to say that this notoriously 'bad' story is one of only a handful to be released in book form, in audiobook form, in VHS form, in DVD form and in BBC soundtrack form! It's clearly doing something right (as number13 above says, all this discussion is pushing me towards seeing it again). |
