Thought I'd start a challenge and take it back to sci-fi. So the Doctor arrives in the alien ghetto District 9 outside Johannesburg just before the resident "prawns" are to be forcibly evicted.
Which Doctor? Which companions? And how do they react?
One potential problem from the Doctor's POV: the early 1980's is way too early for the human race to become aware of aliens. Has someone been messing with the timeline?

I think how he'd respond would depend on the Doctor, but the one I'd like to see dropped into that world is Number Five, Peter Davison, with the outspoken Tegan and scientific Nyssa, having just lost recently lost Adric and prior to the acquisition of Turlough. I see a lot fo great conflict there, with those characters in that world.

1980's?
I thought District 9 was set in the present day?
Ah, yes - I see - they've been on Earth since the early 80s.
Alternatively, you could have the Prawns arrive now and set it 10-20 years in the future. The conditions would still be the same.
