The series briefly crossed over with the Doctor Who universe in the 1998 BBC promotional video Future Generations [+]Loading...["Future Generations (TV story)"], which featured a young boy travelling through the settings of several series, including Play School and Doctor Who.

Partway through the promo, after the boy walks away from the sets of Blue Peter and Newsround, he encounters Derek Griffiths, who suggests the viewer to look through the square window, through which the boy can be seen entering the wardrobe from The Chronicles of Narnia.
