In [[2003 (releases)|2003]], the BBC released [[Shada (webcast)|a webcast version of ''Shada'']] starring Paul McGann's Doctor. A [[Nutri-Matic Drink Synthesizer]] (a technology introduced in ''Hitchhiker's'') was visible in [[St Cedd's College]], and Arthur Dent and [[Zaphod Beeblebrox]] themselves made cameos as inmates of [[Shada (prison)|the Shada prison]] itself. | In [[2003 (releases)|2003]], the BBC released [[Shada (webcast)|a webcast version of ''Shada'']] starring Paul McGann's Doctor.

The defictionalised [[ | The defictionalised ''[[Who is Doctor Who? (fictional website)|Who is Doctor Who?]]'' website put online as part of the marketing campaign for [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]] of [[Russell T Davies]]'s revived ''Doctor Who'' TV series, included ''[[Have You Seen This Man? (short story)|Have You Seen This Man?]]'', a collection of flash fiction that told sightings of the [[Ninth Doctor]]. One of them was in-character from Arthur Dent, suggesting that the Doctor had briefly helped him hold off the bulldozers trying to raze his home, placing the encounter right before the beginning of the plot of ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' (which opens on a lone Dent's argument with the demolition workers). ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', written by Davies himself and broadcast on [[25 December (releases)|25 December]] [[2005 (releases)|2005]], had the newly-regenerated [[Tenth Doctor]] mention meeting Arthur Dent. This was elaborated in the later [[The Christmas Invasion (novelisation)|2018 novelisation of ''The Christmas Invasion'']], which stated that Dent had unsuccessfully attempted to convince the Doctor to kill [[Vogon]]s and that the Doctor had apparently been acquainted with Ford Prefect in "[[Time Lord Academy|college]]". | ||
In [[2007 (releases)|2007]], Davies also wrote ''[[Voyage of the Damned (TV story)|Voyage of the Damned]]'', a [[Tenth Doctor]] Christmas special primarily concerned with a [[Titanic (spaceship)|spaceship named the ''Titanic'']] in honour of [[RMS Titanic|the original Earth cruise liner]]. The ''Starship Titanic'', which predictably met the same fate as its inspiration, was offhandedly mentioned in ''Life, the Universe, and Everything'', the [[1982 (releases)|1982]] third novel in the ''Hitchhiker's'' series. Notably, in [[1998 (releases)|1998]], Adams had written {{wi|Starship Titanic}}, a video game elaborating on this idea and taking it in a different direction than Davies' version. | In [[2007 (releases)|2007]], Davies also wrote ''[[Voyage of the Damned (TV story)|Voyage of the Damned]]'', a [[Tenth Doctor]] Christmas special primarily concerned with a [[Titanic (spaceship)|spaceship named the ''Titanic'']] in honour of [[RMS Titanic|the original Earth cruise liner]].
