| 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.

| |

| Holland, meanwhile, acted on screen in ''[[The Savages (TV story)|The Savages]]'', playing the [[Third Assistant]].

| === 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]].
