 * 26 November and 27 November - A two-part special episode, NOTDWU: Dimensions in Time, was broadcast to mark the thirtieth anniversary of Doctor Who. Presented as part of the Children in Need campaign, the episodes were produced in 3-D and featured all surviving Doctor actors (plus representations of the two deceased Doctors) and many surviving companions, as well. The special marked the final on-screen appearance of Jon Pertwee as the Doctor, was the only Doctor Who story written by John Nathan-Turner and was also Turner's final involvement with the franchise. The special was produced in lieu of an abandoned movie project, The Dark Dimension. The special episodes featured a new, sped-up arrangement of the Doctor Who theme and used a variation of the opening credits sequence introduced in 1987, along with the series logo also from '87; it was the final on-screen use of both. Dimensions in Time is considered canonically questionable.
