[[Pete's World]] did not have ''Eastenders'', much to [[Jackie Tyler]]'s continued disappointment. The programme was one of the things she missed from [[N-Space|the Doctor's universe]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Siege of Big Ben (audio story)|The Siege of Big Ben]]'')
== History ==
After a year away from [[Earth]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'') [[Rose Tyler]] made the [[Ninth Doctor]] spend a day off with her watching old episodes on video in [[48 Bucknall House|her flat]] and catching up on storylines which she had missed. The Doctor used this to his advantage when he used the [[45 Albert Square|Fowlers's residence]] in the series to inform Rose of the answer to a test set by [[Lazlee Flowers]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monsters Inside (novel)|The Monsters Inside]]'')

''EastEnders'' was noted for its depressing festive specials. The Tenth Doctor believed the phrase, "This is going to be the best Christmas Walford has ever had" was among the unluckiest sentences that one could utter. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Planet (TV story)|The Impossible Planet]]'')

== Behind the scenes ==
[[Squeak|Chantelle]] had been on ''EastEnders'' at some point by [[2020]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[At Childhood's End (novel)|At Childhood's End]]'')
* [[Tony Holland]], who played the [[Third Assistant]] in ''[[The Savages (TV story)|The Savages]]'', and [[Julia Smith]], who directed ''[[The Smugglers (TV story)|The Smugglers]]'' and ''[[The Underwater Menace (TV story)|The Underwater Menace]]'', were the co-creators of ''EastEnders''.


=== Crossovers with ''Doctor Who'' ===
The [[Fifteenth Doctor]] once made a continuity announcement for [[BBC One (in-universe)|BBC One]], stating that ''EastEnders'' was up next. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Untitled 1 (May 2024 TV story)|Untitled|var=''EastEnders'' ident|noital=1}})
* Though other stories portray ''EastEnders'' as a television soap, the [[Brief Encounter]] story ''[[Mistaken Identity (short story)|Mistaken Identity]]'' by [[Gary Russell]] and the Doctor Who mini-episode ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]'' cross over ''EastEnders'' with the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]]. A line in ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'' dismissed that adventure as a dream.
* The comic adventure ''[[Happy Deathday (comic story)|Happy Deathday]]'' seems to take place, in part, in the ''EastEnders'' universe. This is later revealed to be [[Happy Deathday|a video game]] being played aboard [[the Doctor's TARDIS]].
* In the comic ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic story)|Tooth and Claw]]'', the [[Eighth Doctor]] refers to "[[Albert Square]]", the location of the series (although he might have meant another Albert Square).
* The [[National Television Awards Sketch 2011]] and ''[[Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars]]'' are also [[crossover]]s with the series.


=== The Brilliant Book 2012 ===
=== Fiction or reality? ===
* According to ''[[The Brilliant Book 2012]]'', a book that contains [[Tardis:Valid sources|non-narrative]] based information, [[William Shakespeare]] was the head writer of ''EastEnders'' in [[River Song's World|an alternate timeline]].
Whilst the majority of sources agree that the characters and setting depicted within the show were works of [[fiction]], one account posited that [[Walford]], [[Albert Square]], and its residents not only really existed, but were all at the centre of a plot by the [[First Rani]] to trap [[the Doctor]] and their [[companion]]s. During this event, the Doctor met some of the Square's residents, including real versions of [[Pauline Fowler|Pauline]] and [[Pat Butcher|Pat]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]'')


=== Doctor Who references in Eastenders ===
Conversely, another source implied this event to be a dream that the [[Seventh Doctor]] had, in which, he claimed, all his old enemies chased him around the ''EastEnders'' sets. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'')
* The character {{w|Bradley Branning}} was a fan of Doctor Who, amoung other sci-fi series’. An episode broadcast in early 2008 saw him and {{w|Stacey Slater}} attend a Doctor Who convention. People in Dalek and Cybermen costumes could be seen at the event. In another episode, Bradley claimed he knew the names of all the actors to play the Doctor off by heart.


=== Shared actors ===
Another account seemed to indicate a version of the show's iconic [[pub]], [[The Queen Victoria]], existed in the version of [[London]] aboard the [[Starship UK]] in the [[3290s]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')

EastEnders
You may be looking for the real world series that crossed over with the DWU.

EastEnders was a television show broadcast in the United Kingdom during the 20th and 21st century.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

After a year away from Earth, (TV: Aliens of London) Rose Tyler made the Ninth Doctor spend a day off with her watching old episodes on video in her flat and catching up on storylines which she had missed. The Doctor used this to his advantage when he used the Fowlers's residence in the series to inform Rose of the answer to a test set by Lazlee Flowers. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)

Pete's World did not have EastEnders, much to Jackie Tyler's continued disappointment. The programme was one of the things she missed from the Doctor's universe. (AUDIO: The Siege of Big Ben)

Evelyn Smythe, having left with the Sixth Doctor in the year 2000, had "foreknowledge" of 1990s EastEnders episodes, and made a bit of cash off this, betting for the correct outcome. (PROSE: Instruments of Darkness)

Among the casualties of the Vore invasion of Earth in 2005 were members of the cast of the series; they had lost more than Coronation Street. (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles)

The "ghost" of Den Watts confronts Peggy Mitchell. (TV: Army of Ghosts)

In 2007, with the new "ghost" craze sweeping the planet, one of the killed-off characters, Den Watts, was brought back to the show in ghost form, using one of the ghosts which materialised during that period. The Tenth Doctor flicked through this episode of EastEnders along with Ghostwatch and Trisha Goddard, while investigating the new phenomenon at Jackie Tyler's flat. The ghosts were later revealed to be Cybermen attempting to cross between universes. (TV: Army of Ghosts)

When Amy Pond and Rory Williams suddenly ended up in a doll's house, Rory suggested that the Eleventh Doctor was in an EastEnders-like place. (TV: Night Terrors)

When Rani Chandra had the Berserker pendant she told her father to do an impression of Bianca, from EastEnders". The impression involved Haresh shouting, "Ricky! Whitney! Pat!" (TV: The Mark of the Berserker)

Sophie was a fan of EastEnders. In 2007 she was watching Ghostwatch and texted them that "Dirty Den" was back. (GAME: Ghostwatch)

In a timeline where River Song caused time to collapse when she refused to kill the Eleventh Doctor, (TV: The Wedding of River Song) William Shakespeare became the boss of EastEnders on 22 April 2011. (PROSE: Just a Minute...)

During the Twelfth Doctor's imprisonment in the Prison, Clara Oswald taught Class 2A's art class. She asked the students to paint a placard with the slogan "SAVE THE DOCTOR" but instead, they got confused and began to paint "SAVE DOT COTTON". Clara explained to the Governor that Dot Cotton was a "famous Cockney chimney". (PROSE: The Blood Cell)

EastEnders was among the 20th century Earth television shows broadcast by Reef Station One in the New Earth Republic during the 101st century. (PROSE: Synthespians™)

Chantelle had been on EastEnders at some point by 2020. (PROSE: At Childhood's End)

The Fifteenth Doctor once made a continuity announcement for BBC One, stating that EastEnders was up next. (TV: Untitled (EastEnders ident) [+]Loading...{"noital":"1","var":"''EastEnders'' ident","1":"Untitled 1 (May 2024 TV story)","2":"Untitled"})

Fiction or reality?[[edit] | [edit source]]

Whilst the majority of sources agree that the characters and setting depicted within the show were works of fiction, one account posited that Walford, Albert Square, and its residents not only really existed, but were all at the centre of a plot by the First Rani to trap the Doctor and their companions. During this event, the Doctor met some of the Square's residents, including real versions of Pauline and Pat. (TV: Dimensions in Time)

Conversely, another source implied this event to be a dream that the Seventh Doctor had, in which, he claimed, all his old enemies chased him around the EastEnders sets. (PROSE: First Frontier)

Another account seemed to indicate a version of the show's iconic pub, The Queen Victoria, existed in the version of London aboard the Starship UK in the 3290s. (TV: The Beast Below)
