There is a mini episode known as "Time Crash" (Charity special for Children in Need) after the episode "Last of the Time Lords" in which The Tenth Doctor and The Fifth Doctor interact with each other inside of the TARDIS. At the end of the episode, Last of the Time Lords, Martha leaves the 10th Doctor and when he begins to leave, there's a collision in which the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS crashes into the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS and as the Tenth Doctor is trying to check the controls, he passes the Fifth incarnation of himself also trying to check the controls of this TARDIS. The Tenth Doctor recognizes the Fifth Doctor as himself but the Fifth Doctor doesn't recognize the Tenth Doctor. An alarm go

I’m currently re-watching new Who, in the hope of understanding what on earth is going on during the Christmas special. In addition to the episodes themselves, in recent years the BBC has also produced several “minisodes” (I guess it’s hard to think up a good name for mini-episodes) which add a bit of context around some episodes (e.g. Pond Life [LINK] ), provide a bit of fun during BBC charity telethons (e.g. Time Crash [this video] ), and occasionally portray pretty major plot points (e.g. Night of the Doctor [LINK] ). I’d like to watch these too, but I can’t find a definitive list of them, or an indication of where each one fits in. It’s hard enough keeping the time-travel straight in my head,
Cites Valorum · 2014-05 · Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange · on “Why does the TARDIS console room change?”
The look, feel and even control systems of the TARDIS seem to change according to the whim of the current incarnation of the Doctor. In the minisode "Time Crash", the fifth Doctor compares the control room's appearance to that of a computer's desktop theme [LINK] ; FIVE: What have you done to my TARDIS? You've changed the desktop theme, haven't you? What's this one? Coral? It's worse than the leopardskin. Additionally, in the episode " Eleventh Hour [LINK] ", we see that the TARDIS itself is capable of selecting a new Control Room when the previous one is destroyed during by the Doctor's regeneration cycle. As to the specific question of why they don't simply fix the old one when it gets bro
Cites giacomo casanova · 2014-05 · Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange · on “Is 'Time Crash' considered part of Doctor Who canon?”
In the new Doctor Who continuity there is a 'minisode' entitled Time Crash . My question is, are the minisodes (or any other deleted scenes for that matter) considered canon evidence when discussing shows such as Doctor Who?
Cites Majd Ghada · 2014-07 · Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange · on “When was the phrase "Timey Wimey" first invented by the Doctor?”
The phrase " Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey stuff [LINK] " was first used on TV by the 10th Doctor in the episode "Blink". However, it then appears as if the Doctor had invented this phrase long before that in-universe, as it is used by the 5th Doctor in the mini-episode " Time Crash [this video] ". But in the 50th anniversary episode "Day of the Doctor", when the 11th Doctor says "timey wimey" the War Doctor appears as he has never heard this phrase. Is there any explanation for this? In his own timeline, when did the Doctor invent or first hear this phrase? Edit: This question is different from Is the Doctor Who episode 'Blink' the first use of the phrase "timey-wimey"? [LINK] because I'm not asking
