* The 1999 [[Donald Duck]] comic story ''The Last Time Lord'' was a mashup spoof of ''Doctor Who'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'' where Donald was accidentally confused for the last surviving Time Lord in the universe after digging up a "laser sword" clearly standing in for a ''Star Wars'' [[Light saber|lightsaber]] (the Jedi and the Time Lords being conflated in the story's mashup cosmology), and beamed up to outer space to battle a cyborg tyrant. [[Regeneration]] is alluded to, as the cyborg tyrant readily accepts Donald as his old Time Lord nemesis due to knowing that "your lot can change faces". | * The 1999 [[Donald Duck]] comic story ''The Last Time Lord'' was a mashup spoof of ''Doctor Who'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'' where Donald was accidentally confused for the last surviving Time Lord in the universe after digging up a "laser sword" clearly standing in for a ''Star Wars'' [[Light saber|lightsaber]] (the Jedi and the Time Lords being conflated in the story's mashup cosmology), and beamed up to outer space to battle a cyborg tyrant.

* In the novel ''High Wizardry'' (1990) by [[Diane Duane]], part of the ''Young Wizards'' series, a "[http://www.youngwizards.com/ErrantryWiki/index.php/Man_In_The_Bar%2C_the Mysterious Stranger]" helps the protagonist out of a sticky situation. He seems [[Fifth Doctor|oddly familiar]]. | |||
* Lady [[Jennifer Buckingham]] from ''[[The War Games]]'' appears in {{wi|The Bloody Red Baron}} (1995), the second volume of [[Kim Newman]]'s crossover-intensive {{wi|Anno Dracula}} universe. [[Charles Beauregard]], the hero of several ''Anno Dracula'' stories, is referred to in ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]''. One of Newman's books in the {{w|Dark Future}} series makes references to an alternative timeline, ultra-nationalist, pro-English version of the ''Doctor Who'' television series in which the Doctor visits famous events in English history while fighting off extraterrestrial threats to the Crown. Newman's ''Life's Lottery'' (1999), a playful exploration of the concept of [[alternate universe]]s, references ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'' in some detail (and a character fantasises somewhat colourfully about [[Jo Grant]]). | |||
* {{w|Richard Calder (writer)|Richard Calder}}'s ''Dead'' trilogy features numerous dark alternative time lines involved in a sex war between men and woman. At least one features a version of ''Doctor Who''. The last scene of the final volume, ''Dead Things'' (1996), shows the young protagonist watching a scene of the "Daleks exterminating the slave girls of [[Skaro]]" on television. | |||
