 * 26 November and 27 November - A two-part special episode, NOTVALID: Dimensions in Time, was broadcast to mark the thirtieth anniversary of Doctor Who. Presented as part of the Children in Need campaign, and a crossover between the Doctor Who and EastEnders universes, 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.
 * The cast members of both Doctor Who and EastEnders, as well as the production crew, gave their services especially for Children in Need and waived their fees on conditions laid down at the time by Equity: Dimensions in Time would receive a once-only broadcast, and would not be exploited commercially in any way — which means the story will remain forever off-limits as far as a DVD release is concerned.


 * 29 November - 30 Years in the TARDIS was first broadcast, along with several short skits.


 * 2 December - The Left-Handed Hummingbird was first published.
