Summary: Once a month the Doctor visits a small garage in Gaborone, Botswana where the best mechanic in Botswana (and in the Doctor's eyes, the whole universe) helps keep the TARDIS going that little bit longer.

Since I am familiar with both universes in this crossover, I can't tell if it works if you aren't. But whether you are or not, this delightfully captures the voice of Mr. J L B Matekoni, one of the main supporting characters in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels, and his interaction with Mma Makutsi, and, of course, the Doctor.

I have one niggle about the Doctor's inability with language here, but it's only a niggle, and doesn't spoil the story.
