Dimensions in Time
This Story: 30th Anniversary Special. Production Code C280X
Overall: Not counted in episode and story count due to unique status
Airdates: 26 Nov 1993 – 27 Nov 1993
Written by John Nathan-Turner & David Roden
Directed by Stuart McDonald
Notes
- This was the final televised story produced by John Nathan-Turner. It was also the only story he ever got a writing credit on. It is generally considered non canonical, although there has never been a formal statement of its canonicity made as far as I know.
- Was the only Doctor Who story ever made in 3D (until the 50th Anniversary Special). It has never been officially released on home video. Given it was a charity piece, and nobody got paid for their services, it cannot be released on home video as far as I am aware.
- Was the final use of the title sequence used through Sylvester McCoy’s era.
- Was the only on screen meeting of Colin Baker’s Sixth Doctor & Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
- Was the only time Tom Baker ever returned to the Doctor Who as the Fourth Doctor (Shada refilling notwithstanding).

This is the 30th anniv story. Was produced for Children in Need - nobody got paid. That has prevented it being released officially on home video. Was hosted by Noel Edmonds & Jon Pertwee. pic.twitter.com/ch9ARQem8D

First time Tom Baker returned, was the only Who ever produced in 3D. The story is totally naff, but it's fun seeing all the old actors return - in combinations that never happened on show. pic.twitter.com/ggE0TJPIiU

Ep2 had a phone in result which dictated events on screen. My fav moment here was when 6 met the Bridagider - only time it ever happened on screen. Did like seeing Romana 2, Victoria, & Liz. pic.twitter.com/Yk6aRcTzdl

This was the last appearance by Kate O'Mara as the Rani. Honestly the only real reason to watch this is all the (quick) cameos and combinations. Really wish they'd find a way to release it. pic.twitter.com/DvKmrYFAas
…and a bonus tweet that isn’t mine, but super fun….
My personal highlight of #Utopia2023 Day 1: A live commentary on Dimensions in Time by @SawbonesHex & @bonnie_langford. Especially when Bonnie spotted ‘her’ house in it and Colin briefly thought that she had actually lived in Albert Square… #DoctorWho @fantomfilms pic.twitter.com/HIawAgCdm8
