- You may be looking for the in-universe Wallace & Gromit or the in-universe Shaun the Sheep.
Wallace & Gromit was a multimedia franchise created by Nick Park centring around the titular characters, beginning with the film A Grand Day Out in 1989. One film in the series, A Close Shave, introduced the character of Shaun the Sheep, who would go on to star in his own spinoff series, Shaun the Sheep. This itself got a spinoff revolving around Timmy, Timmy Time.
Crossover
The series crosses over with the Doctor Who universe in the Roblox game Wonder Chase [+]Loading...["Wonder Chase (video game)"]. Since the game's inception, an advertisement could be found in Wonder Central for Shaun the Sheep, with an image of the titular character giving two thumbs ups.
Later, on 30 May 2024, a "Shaun the Sheep Update!" was released, adding various characters to the game alongside a new location, Dream Factory, and various stickers based upon Shaun the Sheep.

References to the DWU in Wallace & Gromit
The Wallace & Gromit comic The W Files pastiches various elements of the Doctor Who universe, primarily UNIT. In the story, "UNITWIT" (a pastiche of UNIT) appear, with members of the organisation including Sergeant Fenton (a pastiche of Sergeant Benton) as well as a pastiche of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.

The Shaun the Sheep episode Party Animals features one of the sheep dressing up as a Dalek for the Farmer's birthday party. The Farmer is briefly scared by their entrance, and the Dalek-sheep has trouble getting up the stairs.

The film Farmageddon features an appearance by the Third Doctor's sonic screwdriver, as well the sheep dressing up as Daleks, scaring the Fourth Doctor (or a cosplayer) back into a porta-potty (referencing the Doctor's TARDIS' police box exterior). The credits of the film feature this porta-potty TARDIS flying through outer space.
