In part two of OTTL's celebration of 40 years of EastEnders, Mark, Lee and Mark H discuss some classic crossovers with Doctor Who....and Dimensions in Time. They take a trip to an emotionally charged Doctor Who exhibition with Bradley and Stacey in an episode of EastEnders from 15th February 2008. Then it's off to Albert Square with the Eleventh Doctor and Dermot O'Leary, before settling down for a pint in the Queen Vic with Lytton.

Also: We choose which EastEnders stars we'd have liked to have played the Doctor and their companions, and Lee challenges the Marks to A Square Go.

"Oh my dear Princess, you have been naive..."

To celebrate 40 years of EastEnders, Mark convenes Mark Harrison and Lee McMenemy from The Polis Box in the Queen Vic to discuss whether or not Doctor Who is "too soapy". Beyond their statuses as institutions which rely heavily on cliffhangers, what else ties Doctor Who to EastEnders and other soaps like Coronation Street?

Under discussion: The Great EastEnders Slide Disaster of 2004, Phil Mitchell as Mickey Mouse, and a succession of William Hartnell lookalikes.

You can watch Corrie's tram crash (directed by Graeme Harper) here.

"Blooping is fine"

Mark invites Pete Lambert from the Trap One and Maximum Power podcasts to submit his five Doctor Who gripes for the very literal Tinsel Tunnel in an accidental Christmas special. Which of Pete's selections will force Mark to look back on his life choices like Ebenezer Scrooge?

Is the 45 - 60 minute long episode of Doctor Who a dead medium? Why is Mrs Flood emblematic of a problem plaguing pop culture? And who trapped that bee inside a theramin? All this and more in the final In the Timelash of 2024!
