The special marked the final on-screen appearance of [[Jon Pertwee]] as the Doctor, was the only ''Doctor Who'' story written by [[John Nathan-Turner]] and was also Turner's final involvement with the franchise. The special was produced in lieu of an abandoned movie project, ''[[The Dark Dimension]]''. The special episodes featured a new, sped-up arrangement of the ''Doctor Who'' theme and used a variation of the opening credits sequence introduced in [[1987]], along with the series logo also from '87; it was the final on-screen use of both. ''Dimensions in Time'' is considered canonically questionable.
