- TriviaDuring filming, Sylvester McCoy stood in the middle of Albert Square and yelled, "I don't understand why those BBC Enterprises people can't get us all together for love nor money, but when JNT makes a few calls, we're all here with our boots blacked - doing it for nothing! There must be something wrong!"
- GoofsTowards the end when the 7th doctor is about to override The Rani's computer, when he psychically joins his other incarnations, 3, 5 and 4 are shown but for some reason 6 is mysteriously missing, despite the fact that he should be there story wise.
- Quotes
The Doctor: Mayday, mayday. This is an urgent message for all the Doctors. It's vitally important that you listen to me for once. Our whole existence is being threatened by a renegade Time Lord known only as the Rani. She hates me. She even hates children. Two of my earlier selves have already been snared in her vicious trap. The grumpy one and the flautist too. She wants to put us out of action. Lock us away in a dreary backwater of London' East End. Trapped in a time-loop in perpetuity and her evil is all around us. I can hear the heart beat of a killer. She's out there somewhere. We must be on our guard and we must stop her before she destroys all of our other selves. Oh...
[in pain]
The Doctor: Good luck, my dears.
- Alternate versionsTwo versions of part 2 were shot. Ron Tarr (Big Ron) and Nicola Stapleton (Mandy) both shot scenes helping other EastEnders characters escape from The Rani (the versions are otherwise identical). Viewers voted which version they wanted to see. Mandy won and her episode was shown. The Big Ron version was never broadcast but was shown the same weekend at a Doctor Who convention in Chicago.
- ConnectionsEdited from Children in Need (1993)
Otherwise the plot is totally incomprehensible, we don't see inside the Tardis (the set had been destroyed), the cross-over with East Enders seems silly and the 3D process it was shot in was only mildly impressive. At the time it was nice to see Doctor Who back, but I cannot imagine this would have turned anybody onto the show at all.
As it was a charity do it will never be released on DVD or repeated (that was a condition of its production) so you will only be able to see off-air VHS recordings. But truly it was an awful programme.
