In 1881, the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral occurred in Tombstone, Arizona Territory in the USA. The fight, which posed the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday against a group of outlaws, became one of the most iconic events in the history of the Wild West. The First Doctor, Steven Taylor and Dodo Chaplet arrived in Tombstone in the hours before the fight as the Doctor required treatment for his toothache. Holliday did the dentistry. The Doctor, Steven and Dodo subsequently witnessed the gunfight. (TV: The Gunfighters)
