In 1993, a number of things set in or relevant to the Doctor Who universe were released or published.

The cast members of both Doctor Who and EastEnders, as well as the production crew, gave their services especially for Children in Need and waived their fees on conditions laid down at the time by Equity: Dimensions in Time would receive a once-only broadcast, and would not be exploited commercially in any way — which means the story will remain forever off-limits as far as a DVD release is concerned.
