Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Doctor Who wants to do a crossover with the Star Trek franchise, leading fans of both franchises to ponder whether it could ever happen. As the two longest-running science fiction franchises in the world, there have been various Star Trek crossovers with Doctor Who and vice versa over the years. However, outside expanded media and cute references, Doctor Who and Star Trek have never officially crossed paths on screen.

Doctor Who Confirms It’s Set In The Same Universe As Star Trek But which Star Trek universe is it? In Doctor Who season 14, episode 1, "Space Babies", the Doctor takes Ruby Sunday on her first trip in the TARDIS, arriving aboard a space station.

RTD tells Collider that he hopes his revelation that Star Trek is real in Doctor Who will create "excited ripples around the world." The concept of the Doctor meeting Starfleet is definitely an exciting prospect. There's a strict professionalism to the life of a Starfleet officer that is at odds with the Doctor's more ramshackle, gadabout approach to exploring strange new worlds.
