There have been many crossovers between stories officially set in the [[Doctor Who universe|''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.
There have been many crossovers between stories officially set in the [[Doctor Who universe|''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 universe|the Doctor's home dimension]] as distinct from, but coexisting with, other dimensions inabited by various unrelated fictional characters.

* The earliest, albeit minor, released crossover between the DWU and another fictional property occurred in [[1966 (releases)|1966]] in ''[[Thunderbirds (series)|Thunderbirds]]'', on [[ITV]] rather than the [[BBC]], as a tie-in with the magazine ''[[TV Century 21]]'', which published [[The Daleks (series)|the ''Daleks'' comic serials]] under the guise of being in-universe reports produced in the [[2060s]] within the shared universe of [[Gerry Anderson]]'s science fiction TV series. One of these reports was clearly seen, although briefly, on-screen in a close-up in the ''Thundebirds'' episode ''[[The Man from MI.5 (TV story)|The Man from MI.5]]'', with the word "DALEK", the image of a [[Dalek War Machine|War Machine Dalek]] and that of the [[Dalek Prime|Golden Emperor]] all visible.

He eventually summoned [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] ("played" by the actual TV prop used at the time in [[Patrick Troughton]]'s TV stories) into existence inside the dream realm as part of his efforts to defend himself.
