5: Criminal Masterminds An ironic title perhaps? Something like 'The Moles' episode (imdb) of Tales of the Unexpected? The episode can be watched here.
A group of would-be criminals, perhaps with accidental access to advanced technology, try their hand at crime.
Hilarity ensuresm until events turn tragic.
I was thinking with Criminal Masterminds was either a pure historical or pseudo historical involving Al Capone in a film noir style when I tried coming up with ideas with that, Al Capone is someone not used on doctor who and would make a great antagonist or even protagonist. Well he appeared in Blood Harvest.
Curiously he also played a major role in a scenario for the old TimeMaster time travel RPG called Timestorm, along with the usual shape-shifting alien Demoreans, dinosarurs and talking cartoon rabbits.
I could see a stranded time traveller or TDP attempting to make a deal with Capone.

Will he be offering a deal they cannot refuse?

The Slitheen! They would be perfect to work with Al Capone giving him instructions on how to make alien booze to sell to humans!

If they’re knocking about during Prohibition, then there’s also a chance their paths might cross with the Sidewinder Syndicate. The criminal dealings of Al Capone will be the least of your PCs worries if those two alien groups become involved in a turf war.

That would make for an interesting campaign, a Turf War between two alien species within Prohibition Chicago, having to protect Al Capone due to him being an historical figure and such. Maybe the Slitheen employ Ogrons as foot soldiers and guards?

Cue your PCs groaning at the fact. ”Typical. Who would have guessed it, Al Capone, Saviour of Man Kind!” ”Don’t tell him that, last thing we want is his ego to grow any bigger...”
