1993: The 30th Anniversary
The first anniversary Doctor Who celebrated without actually being on air is, suitably, perhaps its weirdest. The infamous “Dimensions in Time” was a charity special broadcast for Children in Need—further cementing Doctor Who’s relationship with the appeal foundation after “The Five Doctors,” a relationship that would flourish even further upon its return in 2005.
Teaming the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors, “Dimensions in Time” put them and their companions up against the Rani in her most dastardly of schemes: trapping Doctor Who’s stars in Albert Square, the world of longrunning soap opera Eastenders. It’s exactly as camp as you’d expect.
