Story notes

 * The sketch was completely ad-libbed by Peter Davison and Terry Wogan.
 * The sketch was pre-recorded as Peter Davison was at the time flying to America, where he was attending a Doctor Who 20th anniversary event in Chicago.
 * It is unknown how much the sale of the Fifth Doctor's coat raised for Children in Need or who eventually bought it.
 * The sketch was shown only in the London, Wales and North West regions. A teaser appeared alongside the programme listing for The Five Doctors in Radio Times for the aforementioned regions, in the form of a caption reading "The BBC's annual appeal for Children in Need all over the country begins in earnest at 6.55. And Doctor Who will be dropping in to join Terry later in the evening. But which one?"
