Aah, so one thing I've overlooked... when the BBC states "yes, you may use one or more of our monsters from the show Doctor Who", that is therefore a legal crossover. I may be a complete fool but I'd never seen it like that. Looking back at something like The Simpsons Guy, which is a Family Guy episode featuring most, if not all, of the main characters from The Simpsons, it's not just a crossover because two teams have come together to produce it, it's a legal crossover because of the legalities. The "yes, you may use our characters", so to speak.

Didn't one of you say that some people related to Doctor Who had worked alongside the team (outside of Nick Briggs being the voices)? It wasn't just these LEGO dudes making this movie? Can I also ask, theoretically, if this pretend episode of Top Cat had no interference from the BBC or the Doctor Who team and was written solely by the Top Cat team... it's still a crossover in the eyes of this Wiki because of the legalities, regardless of whatever contrary statements that episode makes? Say they were adamant about the Daleks stating their origins from another world other than Skaro? That surely wouldn't be allowed? :P
