  • Another fantastic episode from the pen of John Nathan Turner.

  • I dont believe it, that mini in the garage is the exact some model and colour as mine, if it was mine id be absolutely over the moon!

  • Oh the classics...Cables in plain few, messing up of lines, bad acting...

    Don't you just love it! :D

  • @ImProbablyWeird Bro, if you think this is an accurate representation of the classic series, you are being horribly mislead.

  • nash was right they screwed the pouch on this one.

  • Great googly moogly, that was embarrassing. They should have called this 'Let's Pretend This Never Happened'.

  • Was great to see all the old doctors together. Such a shame that they didnt do more. This one feels like it was filmed by a high school student at the local carnival.

  • when was this made?

  • @Films0R0Us 1993

    

  • Even if it's just a Children in Need Special the writers of this (including veteran Dr Who-producer John Nathan-Turner of all people!) should be ashamed of themselves. How they can make something so messy and incoherent in only 15 minutes is beyond me, they totally ruined a great chance to have so many of the original doctors together.

  • This Mandy person didn't really do much, let alone help the Doctor

  • That was fun, silly cameo goodness. Heh

  • Lalla Ward - fit!

  • The Brig sounds a bit phlegmy.

  • 1:40 "What are you doing?" "I'm trying to make the raving headache I got from trying to understand this shit go away."

  • K-9!

  • ..yeah agree with below..I think this was JNT last gasp that nearly kept Doctor Who from coming back. RTD was right..it needed a significant break before it could be brought back..also this makes me happy Doctor Who missed MOST of the 90s

  • Wow, I can't belive they made an episode of Doctor Who that made ABSOLUTLEY NO SENCE!

  • @BurningPotatoFilms There have been several. Remember "Time Flight?"

  • @MaskedMan66 Yes. But compared to this, Time Flight is like The Caves of Androzani.

  • @BurningPotatoFilms As you please. I view every incomprehensible story as a challenge to use my imagination to fill in the missing bits. This was actually quite easy to follow: Rani traps Doctors, companions shift in and out of each other, Doctors start to figure out what's going on, Rani sends zombie clones to stop him, Doctor works out a way to defeate her, Doctor saves the universe.

    Pretty straightforward, really.

  • @BurningPotatoFilms *defeat

    Incidentally, is there a real company called Burning Potato Films?

  • @MaskedMan66 No. I just use the name for my videos. I guess it's a company-ish thing, though.

  • @BurningPotatoFilms Whimsical!  :-)

  • Hold on a minuate. I've watched this at least three times now, but I still haven't figured out what the Rani was trying to do. Use the brainprints of every living creature to transfer a massive time tunnel through the greenwich meridian to control evolution? Who came up with that?

  • @YorickMesch The Rani, of course. She's always been one for bizarre schemes. Apparently she was breeding edible human/cow hybrids in Ancient Egypt at one point. Whattaya want, she's a mad scientist!

  • @YorickMesch I think basically she was trying to use the power in the time tunnel to reboot the universe and then fill it with her own genetically-engineered, mind-controlled lifeforms. Not too unlike what the Doctor himself did recently, only without the genetically-engineered, mind-controlled lifeforms, of course.

  • OMG Liza attacked the Rani after the Doctor told her to stay put and the Brig. gets to finally meet the 6Th Doctor.

  • @Southblaine Liz, not Liza.

  • OMG Liza attacked the Rani after the Doctor told her to stay put and the Brig. gets to finally meet the 6Th Doctor.

  • OMG Liza attacked the Rani after the Doctor told her to stay put

  • Tom Baker sould have been more active.

  • @Southblaine He would have been, but I think he only had an hour or so that he was available.

  • is this thing canon then? I'm going to MAKE it canon. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • "She has the genetic pattern of every living thing in the cosmos" - Not exact quote.

    "She's to create a massive time tunnel in the Greenwich Meridian"

    ......wait, what?

  • "what for were YOU in when she cloned you?That was't Leela! It was FROBISHA!

  • @all13Doctors You mean Frobisher, and that has been speculated. But I think what was really happening was that the companions were swapping places with each other so rapidly within the time loop that they were actually starting to share memories so that for all intents and purposes they were "turning into" each other.

  • What was his name again?

  • I wish the "evil Rani" would use her evil powers to make Noel Edmonds shut the fuck up and get a job that hes good at, like road sweeping.

  • @mintyspace Don't display your ignorance; Noel Edmonds is a legend, and was a good friend of Jon Pertwee.

  • @MaskedMan66 Dude seriously that comment I made was over a year ago, and dont tell me what I can or cant display, Im intittled to express my own opinion thank you very much

  • @mintyspace 11 months (which is what it says next to your comment at the time of the comment I'm making now) is under a year.

    "Don't tell me what I can or can't display." You mean the way you're not telling me what to do.

    There is such a thing as a badly-informed opinion which one really should keep to one's self because it flies in the face of the blindingly obvious. Sure you're "intittled" to it, but that doesn't mean the rest of us are entitled to it.

  • @MaskedMan66 Boo whoo, you over it yet now youve had a whing, or do you need some tissues to wipe away the tears, seriously dude, your very sensitive, dont have a cry or any thing. Go get laid or something, go enjoy life, rather than flicking through comments made 11 months ago, gee you must have way to much time on your hands, peace out.

  • @mintyspace LOL!! Laddie, you are too funny for words; Noel Edmonds should hire you.

    It's always amazed me how people will harp on the age of their comments. Okay, so you left it 11 months ago; I only discovered it 3 days ago. You should be happy someone's paid attention to you.

    I do enjoy life; part of what I enjoy is talking to people, and for better or worse, a lot of talking is done online now. But fear not: I enjoy the physical elements of life too. Get laid? PFFFT! Get married! It's fun!

  • @MaskedMan66 ...(YAWN)...you still going on???...wow I really hit a nerve didnt I LOL

  • Yes, it may suck. But Bessie+Pertwee = win every time.

  • Totally agree my friend, Pertwee was my fave Doctor, got all his stories on video and dvd.

  • Wow. I'm not an 'Enders fan, and I don't recognise quite all the companions (anyone before Sarah Jane, and anyone after Mel, in fact), so I didn't recognise everyone, but I'm going to break tradition here and say... I liked this.

  • That has to be one of the worst eoisodes of Dr. Who ever. yikes!

  • i dont know about u but im gonna pretend this episode never happened

  • well it was written by John Nathan Turner. he killed the show in the first place and continues his reign of terror with this

  • @batourey You mean before the RTD era, right?

    Actually, "The Gunfighters," "Planet of Evil," "Time Flight," and most of the origina; series' last season ("Ghost Light" and "The Curse of Fenric" in particular) make this look like Shakespeare.

  • @batourey *original

  • Edmonds has always been a tit

  • this really really really really really really really really sucked. But it was fun and absolutley hilarious... =D

    - TD

  • ...ok Tat Wood was right, that REALLY sucked.

  • .. I must be blanked that from my mind so I would have to remember how truly awful it was..... now I'm going to have to do that all over again!

  • the rani's got a really big gun...

  • jnt cant write worth shi-at

  • Liz Shaw: Action woman!

  • I actually enjoy Dimensions in Time, because it's a bit of fun!

    However, I have one question - what was Noel Edmonds talking about at the beginning of the video? I heard that therre was some sort of vote, but I didnt understand what it was about, or how Mandy helped the Doctor! Then again, this was shown a year before I was born.

  • @fluffysbro The public were invited to call the number provided and vote for which Eastenders character would help the Doctor, Big Ron or Mandy with proceeds going to Children in Need. Mandy received the highest vote (she was the one who intervened between the Rani and Liz at 2:07)

  • @fluffysbro Rescued the companion

  • @fluffysbro There were two "EastEnders" characters, Big Ron and Mandy, each of whom filmed a scene in which they rescue Liz Shaw from the Rani. Viewers got to vote on which character would be seen in the special as it went out, and Mandy won.

    When I saw this at Visions in Chicago in 1993, they actually showed the Big Ron version, so I've seen both!

  • @fluffysbro

    It was split into two parts and since it was for Children in Need, the public were asked to phone in and vote on who would help the Doctor escape from Part One's cliffhanger. The phonelines generated money for the charity but I remember feeling a little cheated when all she did was say "Leave her alone."

  • sorry Nole it wasnt

  • oh dear o dear o dear.

    I had heard it was bad but.........words fail me!

    There is a good sci-fi idea at the heart of this too (although nicked from Star Trek TNG). How did they manage to mess it up this badly???????

  • star trek is boring so it don't really matter if they nicked it from star trek

  • Just watching it again - I get it - they're actually swapping. But when they have two companions in the same scene that makes it a little confusing. Also how would one companion know who they were before hand - as they aren't the same person like the Doctor. Who said "It'll overload" just as the Seventh Doctor is getting into his TARDIS?? Sounded like it was added in later.

  • Who is the woman that was dragged into 'The Vic'? Also, who was the 'hippy' woman? He asked what form she was in and she said "Romana" - aren't they all Romana!?! (If it was her).

  • The woman dragged into the Vic was Romana. The 'hippy' was Leela. I think she was asked what form she had been as the companion had been changing as the Doctor had. But it was all very muddled ;-)

  • All together now: WHO WAS THAT TERRIBLE WOMAN??? :)

  • @EalaDubh Erm.... okay. Perfectly normal Victoria-type line. What's your problem with it?

  • @Tanru2000 "Hippy?" That was Leela, in full Shobogan kit straight from Gallifrey. The Rani kidnapped Romana while her TARDIS was disguised as the Vic, then Romana was timeshifted away and Leela took her place so rapidly that she remembered everything Romana did; in a sense, Romana "turned into" Leela.

  • You need the Pulfrich glasses to see it in 3D, it's worth it !

  • If Noel Edmonds Didn't go on to host Deal or No Deal, I would not have taken interest in his appearance in this video

  • this is cool+

  • Oddly Sylvester McCoys performance saves this whole thing! Just bearly.

  • I hear that they had to condense the script to fit 15 minutes.

    Maybe they compressed it a bit too much.

    Otheriwse, I thought it was pretty good - if you put a couple of things into context.

  • has anyone got the full broadcast of this children in need special of noel's house party.

  • @stephenb1987 I don't, but my VHS copy of DiT does contain the part when Jon Pertwee comes to the door.

  • "It's time for you to start losing". Nice to see Jon and Bessie one last time.

  • There are so many things about this that are awful.

    But the worst?

    The involvement of Noel Edmonds. His Essex accent and Essex ways are an insult to peoples' intelligence.

  • Not a good episode. Put Peri has a nice ass..

  • Tom Baker looks like a pimp in this

  • i hate this so much im so clad its not canon like the new cin special

  • Who says the new one is canon? just because the titanic busts thru at the end you consider it canon?

  • wow. some of the companions REALLY didn't age well at all. alot of them I didn't recognise

  • At least Steven Moffat "explained" why characters aged when brought forward in "Time Crash"

  • This episode is off some how. I don't like it to much.

  • what a load of old fuck and shit. dimensions in time was designed to be forggoton about fans, in fact. i dont know why im watching this one. time crash was much better than this old piece of SHIT

  • that is truly the doctor who version of the star wars holiday special!

  • Anyone know what happened to the technology of 3D

  • lol ... one year later ...

    ... Avatar

  • Peter Dvaison's and Jon Pertwee's performences in this are good. It's a pitty it was set around Eastenders.

  • JP died 3 years after this... what a shame. he was told that he would never be an actor, because he had a lisp.

  • love this :P its legend :D shame its not longer mind :D hope they release all the comic relief and the BBCi vids on dvd :D

  • Luv'd it. Cheesetastic!  Got a bit noslagic there.

  • I've never been so ashamed of BBC in my life.

    The show also made me dizzy so they could make the pulfrich effect.

    It's not worth it if it gave viewers headaches.

  • this is cool+

  • this is so bad that it's really really funn, and I forgot how bad the actors in Eastenders actually are haha!

  • It wasn't too bad. I feel like Pertwee stepped back into the role the BEST of the Five, although Peter and Colin were excellent as well. Tom was pretty sad in the intro.

  • Ugh :(

  • I think it's hilarious. They managed to work so many different Doctors and Companions in, and it's for a good cause....

  • Genius! Should have been longer.

  • AHHHH!!!!

    That was MT20K grade awful! And RTD is accused of turning Doctor Who into a London soap!?

  • Oh dear god this is awful. *laughs*

  • glad this aint canon

  • Wait, all of that and not a single Dalek? :-(

  • No Dalek was in it because, for whatever reason, the rights to use the Daleks in that special were not obtained. (The Daleks are not owned by the BBC...)

  • that was soooo confusing

  • oh well, you have to laugh!

  • was that one of the doctors talking @ 3:53?

  • No.

  • OH MY GOD!!! The prospect of spending time eternity trapped in dreary old Eastenders! The Rani is a most cruel and villainous Time Lady indeed!

  • Can anyone tell me how to get material from a VHS tape onto a computer? I need to know how for various reasons, but one of them is because I've got Part One of "Dimensions in Time" recorded, and I may be able to upload it.

  • Get a TV tuner card, and it should come with some video (phono RCA) leads. Therefore, you can get a SCART adapter, plug the RCA video leads in, and wala!

    Hope that helped,

  • This Doctor who theme reminds me of a disco

  • The early 90s was indeed the era of adding techno beats to old music to create new music.

  • i cant find part 1 on u tube

  • It's like the Star Wars Holiday Special!

  • Oi!

    There's no need to drag George lucas down!

    Well... okay maybe there is but still comparing that to dr who is a mite overly nasty... so watch some more Dr who to erase that memory of the Star Wars Holiday special!

  • DIT can't even say "it was a fan panto story" anymore, because RTD'S Children In Need story contributed to the continuity of the series in a sensible and logical manner.

  • Oh dear...

  • erm is there a reason y i cant find part one of this, and um vrey strange

  • um.. im confused... how does having 2 time lord brains in the ranis computer make her tardis malfunction, and where the hell did K-9 come from?!

  • omg! that was truely terrible! not one bit of it makes sense lol! n well the video speaks for its self!

  • i wonder if tom was sobre on set for this one

  • Woah, Peter Davison looks pretty much the same here...Maybe because he's keeping his hat on? :)

  • Well... this was made less than 10 years after he left the series so he wouldn't have changed that much, especially since he was very young when he started.

  • "who was that terrible woman??!!" i love that! lol!:D

  • i think that was romana 2 in the garage:)

  • yup, the beautiful Lalla Ward =]

  • WORSE THAN THE NEW SERIES? What on earth are you on about?

  • OMG. My two favourite shows colliding in a delightfully horrid way. LMAO...absolutely the best rubbish I've ever wasted 14 minutes of my life watching. Thanks for sharing! :)

  • i liked this story the Rani could carry over the new series.

  • Yeah cause then they could bring back Chris

  • is that person in the yellow dress at 4:25 kamelion

  • who's the companion hiding in the garage.

  • Romana

  • thnx.

  • o my god it's terrible. worse than the new series

  • Oi! Its great CassandraWho! :-(

  • At least it wasn't as bad as "The Two Doctors". Not quite.

  • Just see my comment for part 1!

  • i LOVE victoria's "who was that terrible woman!?" that always makes me laugh lol:D

  • I liked this story, Though some of the companions have changed so much. That one at the end before Ace I didn't even reconise (Ive seen every companion in a story apart from Kamelion) I thought that they should have done an eight doctors in 2003 without Pertwee, Hartnell and Troughton. Thankyou for uploading :-)

  • I think that was Leela!

  • I thought was great seeing all companions again! To bad couldn't been longer to have actual story line.

  • well lets be glad that the tv show is back on the air as people will forget this pile of rubbish ! who except for the most devoted fan would be interested in it !

  • funny to see Pauleen Fowler and Cathy Beale alive and well in Albert Square in 2013 when they're dead in 2007

  • funny to see Cathy Beale and Pauleen Fowler alive in Albert Square in 2013 when they're both dead in 2007

  • That was a trip.

  • thats the weadest tardis ive ever seen in my life lol

  • which tardis? the doctor's or the rani's?

  • Oh dear, it doesn't get better with age does it...great to see it again, but dear oh dear...

  • Oh that wasnt nearly as much fun as the other part of this nonsense. It stopped dead in the water. Still, thanks for the upload MisterBob.

  • Just began watching "The Five Doctors" posted by isweedan, strange that very few people call that one crap. Its all good

  • dude, you cannot compare The Five Doctors to this!!!

  • The Five Doctors was a celebration, but can still be considered canon, whereas this was created several years after Doctor Who was cancelled and was never any more than a wacky idea in theory or practice. The best comparison this has is the Jim'll Fix It Sontarans episode, with that kid Garth Jenkins materialising in the TARDIS and saving the day by pressing a button that releases steam at the aliens!

  • Oh my giddy aunt! Great to see it but...

  • Oh come on, it wasn't that bad, actually it was a bit of fun!

  • Is this the worst Doctor Who ever, or Twin Dilemma? Maybe Love&Monsters... no, it's this one.

  • Come on! Surely there's no contest?

  • (woo its working now)

    Its quite confusing though :(

    I dont know where the 3D glasses would have worked

    And i dont get the ending.... it just like oh no there in trouble and then he figures it out very quickly

    annd only the 3rd doctor looks the same!

    Argh stupid idea, but i mean im (kinda) glad to have seen it

  • The 3D wasn't done with the conventional method of two slightly different pictures in different colours (which is useless for people without the glasses) but works on the basis of the eye detecting lighter objects before darker objects, with the actors and picture moving in a deliberate way so that when viewed with the glasses the trick does work.

  • No no i know how they work i just couldnt pick up where in the story they would be effective

  • The 3D effect worked any time something in the foreground was moving from left to right, or anything in the background was moving from right to left. Anything moving left-right seemed closer with the glasses, and anything moving right-left seemed further away. This meant that either the actors or the camera had to be moving constantly, and makes the experience very dizzying! However it did seem groundbreaking at the time, I remember!

  • it's sooooo lame!!

  • theme tunes good

  • This isn't working... or is it just me?
