The [[1994 (releases)|1994]] novel, ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'', made a nod to the aforementioned ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]'' through a claim by the [[Seventh Doctor]] that he once had a dream in which all his old enemies chased him around the ''EastEnders'' set.
 
The [[2001 (releases)|2001]] novel, ''[[Instruments of Darkness (novel)|Instruments of Darkness]]'', revealed that the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s [[2000]]-hailing companion, [[Evelyn Smythe]], had been using her foreknowledge of [[1990s]] ''EastEnders'' storylines to get some extra cash by betting on the correct outcomes.
 
In the [[2005 (releases)|2005]] novel, ''[[The Monsters Inside (novel)|The Monsters Inside]]'', following her [[Aliens of London (TV story)|year away]] from modern day [[Earth]], [[Rose Tyler]] caught with the episodes of the show that she missed during that time. The [[Ninth Doctor]], who was forced to watch along with her, later used a piece of his general knowledge of the show to his advantage, when Rose is tested by [[Lazlee Flowers]] on tangential warp offset, he subtly gave Rose the answer (45), by telling her to think of the address of [[Pauline Fowler|Pauline]], [[Martin Fowler|Martin]], and [[Sonia Fowler]], which was [[45 Albert Square]] at the time.
 
In the [[2006 (releases)|2006]] episode, ''[[The Impossible Planet (TV story)|The Impossible Planet]]'', the [[Tenth Doctor]] expresses his belief that one of the most unluckiest phrases that one could utter was, "This is going to be the best [[Christmas]] [[Walford]] has ever had", a reference to the show's typically, notoriously depressing Christmas specials.
 
In the [[2008 (releases)|2008]] ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' serial, ''[[The Mark of the Berserker (TV story)|The Mark of the Berserker]]'', whilst under the influence of the [[Berserker pendant]], [[Haresh Chandra]] obeys [[Rani Chandra|his daughter]]'s command to [pretend to be] "[[Bianca Jackson|Bianca]] off ''EastEnders''", in which he screams the names of [[Ricky Butcher]], [[Whitney Dean]], and [[Pat Butcher]] in her trademark style.
 
In the [[2018 (releases)|2018]] audio story, ''[[The Siege of Big Ben (audio story)|The Siege of Big Ben]]'', saw [[Jackie Tyler]] learn that the show did not exist on [[Pete's World]], to her disappointment.
 
== References to the DWU on ''EastEnders'' ==
''to be added''
 
== Behind the scenes connections ==
=== Crew ===
''Doctor Who''{{'}}s connections to ''EastEnders'' are so great that they stretch right back to the two minds who created the soap, [[Julia Smith]] and [[Tony Holland]]; Smith directed the [[1960s]] television serials, ''[[The Smugglers (TV story)|The Smugglers]]'', and ''[[The Underwater Menace (TV story)|The Underwater Menace]]'', being the second ever female director of a ''Who'' serial for the former.
 
Holland, meanwhile, acted on screen in ''[[The Savages (TV story)|The Savages]]'', playing the [[Third Assistant]].
 
=== Cast ===
Among the ''EastEnders'' actors to appear as their characters in ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]'', [[Letitia Dean]], [[Gillian Taylforth]], and [[Steve McFadden]] are the only three who still appear in the show today, as [[Sharon Watts]], [[Kathy Beale]], and [[Phil Mitchell]], respectively.
 
[[Davood Ghadami]], who played [[Jim (Let's Kill Hitler)|Jim]], one of the crew aboard the [[Teselecta]] in ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'', played Kush Kazemi from 2014 to 2021.
 
Twelve years after previously appearing as her ''Doctor Who'' character, [[Melanie Bush]], in ''Dimensions in Time'', Bonnie Langford joined the ''EastEnders'' cast in 2015 as Carmel Kazemi, mother to the afoemtioned Kush. She left the role in 2018.
 
The Kazemi family was expanded once again in 2016 with the addition of Carmel's other son, and Kush's brother, Shakil Kazemi, played by [[Shaheen Jafargholi]], who previously appeared in the ''[[Torchwood (series)|Torchwood]]'' episode, ''[[Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)|Greeks Bearing Gifts]]'', as [[Danny (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|Danny]].
 
=== Miscellaneous ===
==== Festive specials ====
''EastEnders'' traditionally broadcasts extended episodes on [[Christmas Day]] and [[New Year's Day]], in time slots that are typically adjacent to ''[[Doctor Who]]''{{'}}s own festive specials, resulting in the two shows competing against each other in the ratings.
 
For Christmas Day schedules, ''EastEnders'' have typically ended up with higher overnight ratings than ''Doctor Who'', with only ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'' and ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'' managing to score higher in their respective years, with New Year's Day ratings historically having worked in ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s favour, with only Part 2 of ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' failing to outdo ''EastEnders'' in [[2010 (releases)|2010]].
