Title: Three Interviews the Brigadier Gave (And One He Didn’t)
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] BerylGrey | [tumblr.com profile] seekingthespheres
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 1807 words
Creator's Summary: It took a few tries for The Brigadier to find a suitable assistant for the Doctor after Liz Shaw left.
Characters/Pairings: Third Doctor, the Brigadier, original characters
Warnings/Notes: none (unless maybe mild period-typical sexism in hiring)

Reasons for reccing:
For 1971 and the introduction of Miss Jo Grant, a look at three of UNIT’s less successful hires…

Written as a fill for my prompt, "Did UNIT try any other new assistants for the Doctor in between Liz and Jo? Did any of them last longer than a day?"

This is set just before Jo’s arrival and I think is extremely plausible context—both for the Doctor’s skepticism of a new assistant and for how quickly he becomes putty in her hands. It’s also hilarious!
