Crossovers
The series first crossed over with elements of the Doctor Who universe in the 2023 Arcbeatle Press anthology The Book of the Snowstorm. Within the book was the short story Previously On... The Multiverse [+]Loading...["Previously On... The Multiverse (short story)"], which acted as a prologue to the rest of the book, and Jenny Over-There's Wonderful Life [+]Loading...["Jenny Over-There's Wonderful Life (short story)"] which, as its name may suggest, was a Jenny Over-There story. Additionally the framing device [+]Loading...{"noital":"1","1":"The Book of the Snowstorm (short story)","2":"the framing device"} of the anthology heavily featured various elements from the series.
Later, the Jenny Over-There short story The Man in Grey's Christmas Carol [+]Loading...["The Man in Grey's Christmas Carol (short story)"] featured various licensed DWU elements, such as the Hyperspace Tyrants, Thralls of the Mad Mind, and the Gendar.
References to the DWU in Jenny Over-There: The Nine-Two-Five Universe
In A Change in Management, it is mentioned Jenny tries to visit N-Space, the name given in Warriors' Gate [+]Loading...["Warriors' Gate (TV story)"] for the universe in which the Doctor resides, but instead accidentally visits "Earth-N", which she is said to regret "for so many reasons".
The open-source character Doctor Know, who shares elements with the Doctor, such as having curly hair, an oversized scarf, like the Fourth Doctor, and a stick of broccoli on his chest, parodying the Fifth Doctor's stick of celery, is a recurring character in the series.
In the DWU novelisation [+]Loading...{"noital":"1","1":"Cyber-Hunt (novelisation)","2":"the DWU novelisation"} of the BBV Productions audio drama Cyber-Hunt, also written by Callum Phillpott, a character known as the Man in black featured heavily. When Phillpott ceased association with BBV, BBV retained the rights to this character. In response to this, another of Phillpott's creations, the similar Man in Grey, was created, and became a main character of the series. It would later be implied that they were the same individual, most explicitly in Previously On... The Multiverse [+]Loading...["Previously On... The Multiverse (short story)"] and The Man in Grey's Christmas Carol [+]Loading...["The Man in Grey's Christmas Carol (short story)"], both crossovers with the Doctor Who universe.
