Doctor Who / Red Dwarf Crossovers?

Question

Are there any Doctor Who & Red Dwarf crossover media?  Or any mention of one in the other?

I know there's been a Who/Star Trek comic.  The Doctor has also namedropped meeting other sci-fi characters like Arthur Dent.

The crew of Red Dwarf are familiar with some 20th Century Media (Flintstones, Casablanca, Marilyn Monroe etc).

So, has Lister ever mentioned the TARDIS? Has the Doctor met Rimmer?  Does Cat know K9?  Is Kryten really a Cyberman?

According to this article on Ganymede one of the special effects crew says

There is a TARDIS model in the Blue Midget hanger from series 3 Red Dwarf– fact. (I know’ cos I put it there)

So, that's a (one-sided) cannon showing that someone took the TARDIS to JMC Red Dwarf :-)

In a way, yes! In the Doctor Who Comic "Spam Filtered", the Doctor says he once knew a hard-light hologram who was a "bit of a jobsworth", in reference to Rimmer.

Not sure if this counts at all?

Red Dwarf A-Z was a 1998 BBC TV special. Although principally spun off from the series Red Dwarf, one of its segments featured essentially a crossover between the Red Dwarf and Doctor Who universes as two Daleks were interviewed about the series under the letter "E", for "Exterminate". This was followed by a clip from the series which depicted a specific joke being discussed.
As it is arguably parodical, the sketch is not considered a valid source on this Wiki. In addition, for the sake of common sense, our coverage of it is centered on the Dalek-focused sketch rather than the wider compilation, which is of minimal interest to scholars of the DWU.
