The Doctor once claimed to have had a party at Frank Sinatra's hunting lodge with Einstein and Father Christmas, producing a photograph of them as proof. (DW: A Christmas Carol)
Other, unspecified, encounters between Einstein and the Doctor included Einstein trying to steal the Doctor's TARDIS, and having his toothbrush taken by the Doctor and 'exterminated' by the Daleks.
