Crossover

A boy greets the spider from Spider!: "Morning!". (TV: Future Generations)

The series briefly crossed over with the Doctor Who universe in the 1998 BBC promotional video Future Generations, which featured a young boy travelling through the settings of several series, including Doctor Who.

Partway through the promo, after the boy walks enters Festive Road, exiting no. 52, and Willow the Wisp (Willo the Wisp) flies past and Dennis the Menace and Gnasher (Dennis the Menace and Gnasher) rush past, the spider from Spider! makes a brief cameo appearance, with the boy turning to it and greeting it: "Morning!".
