abstract | - Brief Encounter's mandate was to ask "what if?" questions.
* What if this companion met that companion?
* What if this incarnation of the Doctor met another incarnation's assistant?
* What if this villain met that monster?
* What if we explored a tiny emotional beat in the life of a known character? Examples of stories resulting from asking these sorts of questions included: a pedestrian collision between Sarah Jane Smith and Dodo Chaplet, a chess match between the Celestial Toymaker and Fenric, and a wedding anniversary of the Brigadier and Doris Lethbridge-Stewart.
