Why this must be read:
SG1 has lost Major Carter - oops - and the aliens holding her insist that they take part in a race to get her back. So they need a driver. But just not any driver. They need the best. In fact, they need the Stig - test driver for BBC show Top Gear. Unfortunately for SG1 the Stig comes with three motoring journalists attached, who aren't that keen on letting him go and have a really dodgy idea of the meaning of the words 'National Security'.
Although I think it works well even knowing only the Stargate half of the crossover, but - {Top Gear is a BBC show about cars hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. It asks the important questions - 'Which is the fastest way down a mountain - car or bobsleigh?' 'How hard can it be to make a convertible people carrier?' 'How many ways can we destroy a caravan?'. And answers them - Bobsleigh. Very. At least 12. The cars are also tested on track by 'The Stig' - a mysterious, anonymous and silent 'tame racing driver' who may well be kept in a cupboard when not in use.}
Usually SG1 come across journalists that are intent on unveiling government secrets and it's really funny to watch their increasing exasperation - Jack's especially - as they struggle to deal with attitudes that are less 'Wow, that guy's an alien' and more 'Wow, look at that guy's car'. The author really nails the voices and attitudes of both groups - Teal'c and the Stig so would get on. And once the story's initial premise is accepted it's an amusing look at the Stargate-verse from an outsider view.
And the Doctor Who crossover? Well, it turns out that 'The' is a really popular first name on Gallifrey.
Daniel opened the file in front of him, the one General Hammond had given him the day before. “Well, it’s a rather long story. The short story is that the Stig is an alien.” He looked at the three men in front of him.
“And?” the short one eventually said. None of them seemed very surprised.
“You already knew?” Daniel asked.
“Well, no. But we did suspect he wasn’t exactly a regular human,” the short one replied.
“Just go on,” the loud one said. “Where is he from? Did he bring a spaceship? If he did, we’re keeping that. The Stig is ours, so his spaceship should be ours.”
