You may be looking for the in-universe concept.

A crossover is a story in which elements from two or more fictional universes, originally created to be distinct, are brought together for the span of a specific narrative.

There have been many crossovers between stories officially set in the Doctor Who universe and other works of fiction, some licensed on the part of the property being crossed over with, some not. Some use devices such as the Land of Fiction to allow characters from the DWU to "meet" individuals who are, otherwise, as fictional to them as to the reader.

However, many crossovers imply that the property being crossed over with is actually a part of the DWU, even if that was not that property's creators' original intent. Others make use of the idea of the Multiverse to establish the Doctor's home dimension as distinct from, but coexisting with, other dimensions inabited by various unrelated fictional characters.

Official crossovers[[edit] | [edit source]]

By definition, only stories licensed to use the DWU concepts they contain are covered on this Wiki. The following crossovers are, however, notable for also having been licensed appearances of the "foreign" concepts with which the DWU characters interact. They were usually advertised as crossovers.

Unofficial crossovers[[edit] | [edit source]]

The following crossovers are usually brief cameos by, or allusions to, elements of non-DWU works of fiction in DWU stories. The non-DWU elements are unlicensed and sometimes not explicitly named.

The following lists are such crossovers as they occurred within stories licensed from the DWU's point of view; however, the symmetrical situation often occurs, with elements of the DWU being acknowledged in other works of fiction. Such unlicensed crossovers are listed as "in-universe references" at Cultural references to the Doctor Who universe.
