'''''The Flintstones''''' is an American animated television franchise from [[Hanna-Barbera]] that began with the original animated sitcom of the same name on [[30 September (releases)|30 September]] 1960. The series revolves around the titular "modern [[Stone Age]] family", consisting of husband and wife {{w|Fred Flintstone|Fred}} and {{w|Wilma Flintstone|Wilma}}, as well as their next door neighbours, {{w|Barney Rubble|Barney}} and Wilma Rubble, and their lives in the town of {{w|Bedrock (The Flintstones)|Bedrock}}.


The franchise gained a single, explicit connection to the ''Doctor Who'' universe through the mass-crossover video game, ''[[LEGO Dimensions (video game)|LEGO Dimensions]]'', in the form of in-game content that can only be accessed through the use of certain ''Doctor Who'' elements. Located throughout the game are three hidden [[TARDIS]] travel panels which, when built and used in conjunction with [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], will send the player to one of three exclusive secret areas. One such panel, located within ''[[The Simpsons]]''-based level, ''Meltdown in Sector 7-G'', will send the player to an area based on the Flintstones' family home.
