* 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.

* The final episode of Season 3 of ''[[Out of the Unknown (TV series)|Out of the Unknown]]'', entitled ''[[Get Off My Cloud (TV story)|Get Off My Cloud]]'', was an official crossover with ''Doctor Who'' through a metafictional device: the main character became trapped in a dream world where he was menaced by [[Dalek]]s drawn from his nightmares, nightmares developed from watching ''Doctor Who'' itself. He eventually summoned [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] ("played" by the actual TV prop used at the time in [[Patrick Troughton]]'s TV stories) inside the dream realm as part of his efforts to defend himself. | * The final episode of Season 3 of ''[[Out of the Unknown (TV series)|Out of the Unknown]]'', entitled ''[[Get Off My Cloud (TV story)|Get Off My Cloud]]'', was an official crossover with ''Doctor Who'' through a metafictional device: the main character became trapped in a dream world where he was menaced by [[Dalek]]s drawn from his nightmares, nightmares developed from watching ''Doctor Who'' itself.
