A Romantic Evening (short story)

 was a Brief Encounter short story printed in DWM 187.

Summary
Alistair and Doris Lethbridge-Stewart are looking through their wedding photographs one evening when the Seventh Doctor suddenly appears in some of them. Alistair and Doris both know the Doctor wasn't there — or was he? When the pair begin to vaguely recall having seen the Doctor at the wedding, they wonder if the Time Lord has somehow altered time so he could attend after all.

Characters

 * Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart
 * Doris Lethbridge-Stewart

Continuity

 * Doris was originally referenced in TV: Planet of the Spiders, albeit only as someone who had given the Brigadier a watch — a matter he seemed embarrassed to discuss in detail.
 * This story is set at some unspecified point after the events of TV: Battlefield. The Brigadier mentions having apologised to the Doctor for not inviting him to the wedding, only to have received the reply "Never mind, you can invite me now".
