Mistaken Identity was a Brief Encounter short story published in DWM 176.
Summary
Gustave Lytton arrives at a pub close to Walford Station in East London to meet a potential new employee named Joe Payne. While waiting, he notices that the barman bears a strong resemblance to Kiston and can't help wondering if it is him. Payne fails to arrive and Lytton, satisfied that the barman is not Kiston after all, leaves the pub and heads for Walford Tube Station where he is joined by two male police officers.
Characters
References
- Lytton recalls his work for the Daleks and capturing Davros.
- Since being stranded on Earth, Lytton has rarely moved outside his West London base of operations.
- Lytton wonders if the barman is in fact Kiston.
Notes
- This is the first crossover between Doctor Who and EastEnders. It predates TV: Dimensions in Time by more than two years and the National Television Awards Sketch by nearly nineteen years.
- As EastEnders is depicted in TV: Army of Ghosts as being only a soap opera, this story should perhaps be regarded as "imaginary" rather than as "canon".
Continuity
- Lytton first appeared in TV: Resurrection of the Daleks.
- This story is set at some unspecified point between TV: Resurrection of the Daleks and TV: Attack of the Cybermen.
