Anecdotes
During 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!"

Gaffes
Towards 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.

Citations
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.

Versions alternatives
Two 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.

One-dimensional

This was a special little 2-part story marking the show's 30th anniversary. It was made up of the first mini episode that was shown as part of charity telethon Children in Need with the second mini episode shown during the next evening's Saturday night TV show Noel's House Party.

It has some nostalgic appeal because it has 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Doctors reappearing along with the 7th Doctor plus many many cameos for companions from the history of the show. Also, after 4 years with no Doctor Who on TV I remember being thrilled to have something for the anniversary.

Unfortunately all the returning stars have very little chance to shine. Mostly they blurt out a line or two of mostly expositionary dialogue and that is it. Even the Doctors are not given any really engaging scenes. So it is grest to see everyone but it is all spread very thin without much to really enjoy.

The plot is a jumbled mess and is forced to be a crossover with hit show Eastenders, a London based sosp. This has no relevance at all and is all a bit daft.

It was shown in rudimentary 3D but mostly just looks a bit rubbish.

Aspects of particular interest include Kate O'Mara having her final appearance as The Rani, the Brigadier and Susan having scenes with the 6th Doctor, Liz Shaw getting a cameo, well known film actor Samuel West getting an early small role, K-9 and Bessie featuring and all the other cameos.

It is a bit of nonsensical fun.
