The Big Picture Despite its arid and often unwelcoming landscape, the Wild West has always been a setting that is as abundant for storytelling as any other verdant alternative. The lawless lands of the American frontier have an atmosphere utterly conducive to exciting adventures; the most recognizable of which, of course, is the classic cowboy Western.
Doctor Who TV-PGActionAdventure Sci-Fi The show follows the adventures of a Time Lord “The Doctor” who is able to regenerate, and the Doctor’s human friends. The Doctor and companion’s journey through time and space in the TARDIS – a time-traveling ship shaped like a police box – saving the universe with a combination of wit, bravery, and kindness.
From the set design to the story beats, "A Town Called Mercy" draws plenty of inspiration from classic Westerns. In a behind-the-scenes feature from BBC, the team talked about the production of the episode, and how they literally tread the same ground as the classics that came before. The Gunslinger, the most complexly designed character in the episode, is described as a "cyborg meets Clint Eastwood," and the effect is immediately recognizable.
'Doctor Who's Playful Atmosphere Is a Treat To Watch Close It might be somewhat surprising to American audiences, but despite its incredible catalog of episodes, the last time the Doctor had been to the American Wild West was way back in 1966. In Doctor Who's third season, the episode titled "The Gunfighters" was the show's first foray across the pond, and was its first go at telling a Western story.
