The Totally Stonking, Surprisingly Educational And Utterly Mindboggling Comic Relief Comic was a 59-page comic story (including the front and back covers) published for Comic Relief in 1991, featuring an assortment of creators and comic icons.
The comic served as a crossover of several different series, with one segment in the story featuring the appearance of every mainline incarnation of the Doctor concurrent to the issue, alongside various elements of Dan Dare, which directly interact with the Doctor Who elements. Another segment features the Sleeze Brothers, the titular characters of the series of the same name, a spinoff of Doctor Who.

Plot

Reporting from a Treen colony with his assistant Digby, Dan Dare informs Lenny that they have managed to collect a whole shipful of money but that there still remain quite a few people that have not yet donated, in particular the Mekon, "the stingiest, most hard-boiled egghead in the galaxy." As the pair run out of noses, yet more aliens prove reluctant to give to charity, though Dan believes that they may be persuaded with a few more fundraisers.
At that moment, the Doctor's TARDIS materialises. Out of the TARDIS steps the Seventh Doctor and Ace, followed by the First Doctor and Susan Foreman, the Fourth Doctor with Leela and K9 Mark I, the Second Doctor and Victoria Waterfield, the Fifth Doctor and Tegan Jovanka, the Third Doctor, and the Sixth Doctor. Introducing his company to Dan as a "who-tennany", the Seventh Doctor ascertains that they are in the year 1991. The Second Doctor loads a boxful of red noses "filled with the yoghourt of human kindness" into a cannon which is fired, hitting the Mekon square in the face. Inadvertently making "a funny", the Mekon is convinced to donate along with the other aliens. Their job done, Dan decides that its time to get back down to Earth.
