Eve of the Daleks (TV story)
Eve of the Daleks was the 2022 New Year Special of Doctor Who. It continued from the end of The Vanquishers, which saw the Doctor's TARDIS still damaged from the Flux. Attempting to reboot it, the Thirteenth Doctor accidentally traps ELF Storage and everyone inside it within a time loop. It also dealt with the consequences of the Doctor allowing the Dalek Fleet to be destroyed in the final Flux event, with Dalek Executioners being sent to exterminate the Doctor.

Story notes
There is an unseen character by the name of "Jeff" in the story who is shown to have many units in the ELF storage complex as well as areas he has blocked off with yellow tape to signify that it is his. A lot of the stuff he keeps at ELF is somewhat strange or concerning, including an entire unit filled entirely with thousands of cans of beans'n'beef, a unit filled with party and clown supplies, a unit filled with taxidermies including one of a caracal, and multiple boxes of fireworks that go aginst the rule of "No explosives or dangerous objects allowed."
