Thanks folks. I'm afraid I'm no writer though. Someone else would have to knock the ideas into shape.
I do imagine Four irritating the hell out of Kirk and Bones but winning Spock over with his scientific expertise and Scotty being amazed by the Timelord Tech. Riker would crash and burn with Martha, while Nine would annoy Dax by telling her she's a mere child.
And Smith on board the nuEnterprise - God only knows!
My Fourth Doctor/Kirk's Enterprise story was going to begin with the Enterprise crew discovering a deserted starship whose crew, while still alive, had had their minds completely drained. In the midst of the starship's bridge stands a mysterious blue box...and Kirk is extremely suspicious of the boggle-eyed stranger and his companion who emerge from it.
When Kirk gets a little too accusatory, Leela pins Kirk against the bridge railing, puts her knife to his throat and says, "Shall I kill him, Doctor?"
The Doctor replies, "Good heavens, no, that would be terribly rude! I was just about to offer him a jelly baby--would you like a jelly baby, Captain?"
It went from there....

Amy and Rory were already on board the nuEnterprise in A Christmas Carol...
No no no! Kirk has to deck Leela, the way he decked Shahna in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" so that he can "apologise" to her with a kiss. Actually, I wonder if Shahna and Leela could have been from the same planet. Hmm... Hey, wait a minute. No crossovers dammit! I'm against them.
Could ENT's Temporal Cold War be tied into DW's Time Wars?
Future Guy is the Valeyard?!?
I fucking hope not.
Although, when you put it that way it does sound kind of cool.
The lamest villain in Trek is secretly the lamest villain in Who? That could actually work.
^ You haven't seen The Twin Dilemma, then? Or Vengeance On Varos? Or The Happiness Patrol? 
If anyone could make a "Who/Trek" crossover work, it's John Byrne. His Trek work is, bar none, the best out there. He's a huge TOS fan, and his work feels right out of the series, even though most of his work takes place in far corners of the Trek universe. His books have been about Gary Seven, Number One, Romulan/Klingon alliance and Dr. McCoy.
Hell, I'd kill if he'd do some Doctor Who work without Trek! 11 one shots featuring each Doctor and maybe a some kind of way to tie it all together.

That could be fun, kind of like Superman/Batman: Generations (all three series), but with Doctor Who, instead.
Sadly, it won't happen. Not because of John Byrne's Next Men taking up his time, but because after The Forgotten, the BBC said to IDW, essentially, "No more new past Doctor stuff for you!"
Interestingly, Jack of Fables writer Matthew Sturges, who's writing Doctor Who: A Fairytale Life mini-series for IDW, says in an interview last week with Comic Book Resources about Doctor Who that he'd be down for writing a Who/Trek crossover.
I'd be fine with that.

Actually that could make for some fun humor...
Trek character gives technobabble instructions...Doctor looks blank and says, "Dunno about all that, but if you just hook this to this...a little jiggery pokery..(fiddles)...there you go: See"

Meanwhile, Trek writers idea of science is yelling technical jargon is at 47%.

Superman/Batman:Generations was awesome!
I'm bummed by your second paragraph...I was not aware of that. I don't exactly recall them doing much past Doctor stuff.....or did I miss something? I know that 10's last story ran while 11 was on the air, but don't recall anything beyond that.
I wonder why they're going this route? I'd love an anthology book that did stories of all the doctors.
I'd love it if DC would collect all three series, the chapters arranged chronologically, in an Absolute hardcover.
And if they could include Batman/Captain America, too...
A few years ago, IDW published The Forgotten, which had the Doctor and Martha visiting a museum devoted to his life and career. Something happened, though, and the Doctor lost all of his memories, and he got them back by visiting the displays. And there were flashback scenes to unseen adventures of the first nine Doctors.
Tony Lee, the writer, was asked about another story like The Forgotten on Outpost Gallifrey, and he said that the BBC said after it was published, "Nope, no more new past Doctors stuff. Just the current guy."
I don't really know. I think IDW could be quite effective in exploiting an untapped market with past Doctors. I understand why the BBC doesn't want something mass-market in the UK about a non-current Doctor -- it would confuse the kids, and they do have an expensive show to produce that they need to promote -- but IDW's comics wouldn't be widely available in the UK (they aren't allowed to distribute them there), so IDW could tap the same nostalgic audience that Big Finish does.
