Presented as part of the Children in Need campaign, the episodes were produced in 3-D and featured all surviving Doctor actors (plus representations of the two deceased Doctors) and many surviving companions, as well. 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 it was also Turner's final involvement with the franchise. Rejected as canon by Who fandom, the special was produced in lieu of an abandoned movie project, ''[[The Dark Dimension]]''. The special episodes feature a new, sped-up arrangement of the Doctor Who theme, and use 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.
