The Avengers was a television series which ran from 1961 to 1969. Sydney Newman, the creator of the series, later went on to create Doctor Who.

There have been several crossovers with Doctor Who and The Avengers, both official and not:

Additionally, the DVD documentary Girls! Girls! Girls! - The 1960s (included on the 2008 release of The Rescue/The Romans) indicates that the character of Sara Kingdom was inspired by the Avengers character Catherine Gale, as played by Honor Blackman. Blackman would later appear in Doctor Who.

Note: Newman left The Avengers during its first year to work for the BBC; as such the only Avengers character he is known to have been directly involved in devising was Steed.
