Roland Rat: The Series special was a narrative continuity announcement for Roland Rat: The Series which crossed over with the universe of Doctor Who. It starred Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor.
Plot
The Sixth Doctor disdainfully introduces an episode of BBC3's Roland Rat: The Series, and then proceeds to inanely cry out.
After the episode finishes, the Doctor is awoken by the prodding of a pole. He recaps the audience on what they had been watching, and then excitedly tells them to switch over to BBC1 to watch Doctor Who. Ron Rat jumps up, calling Doctor Who "rubbish", an act the Doctor attempts to murder Ron for.
