2. In the 1970s, an investigation being conducted by Superintendent Dalziel and Sergeant Pascoe encroaches onto UNIT territory. The presence of the third doctor is essential; that of an assistant is optional.

4. In the mid-1920s, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Anthony Eden and Alec-Douglas Home find themselves having dinner together in Oxford. Fictional characters who were also in Oxford at the time may be introduced.

And:

A. A Sir Gawain story as written by Jane Austen

B. For that matter, Richard Sharpe, while back in England, gets mixed up in a Jane Austen story!

C. James Bond intrudes on one of George Smiley's operations

Do you think Smiley and Bond would really work in the same story? My feeling is that in any story containing Smiley, it would be hard to show Bond as anything but a cardboard cutout. ...

It depends on whether you go on what he is like in the films or the books.

It's a while since I read any book-Bond, but I still think that it would be hard for him to appear beside Smiley without appearing greatly reduced and rather grubby.
