EastEnders

EastEnders was a television show broadcast in the United Kingdom, Earth, during the late 20th century and the 21st century. In summer 2007, with the new "ghost" craze sweeping the planet, one of the killed-off characters, Dennis Watts, was brought back to the show in ghost form, using one of the ghosts which materialised during that period,. It was later revealed as a new form of Cyberman. (DW: Army of Ghosts)

Cross-overs with Doctor Who

 * Though other stories portray EastEnders as a television soap, the Brief Encounter story Mistaken Identity by Gary Russell and the Doctor Who mini-episode Dimensions in Time cross over EastEnders with the Doctor Who universe. The line in First Frontier by David A. McIntee seeks to dismiss this last adventure as imaginary.
 * The comic adventure Happy Deathday, featuring the first eight Doctors, seems to take place, in part, in the EastEnders universe. This is later revealed to be a video game being played aboard the Doctor's TARDIS.
 * In the comic Tooth and Claw, the Eighth Doctor refers to "Albert Square", the location of the series (although he might have meant another Albert Square).
