Doctor Who in the Star Trek universe

[Thete]

My simple theory is that the Peter Cushing films are part of the Trek universe - but does that work? I mean, I'm not overly knowledgable on Trek yet. The second one was set in 2150, when the Daleks invaded Earth.

I just think these beasts suit Trek, especially TOS:

No, the Cushing movies depict a very different 22nd century than Star Trek does.

Shouldn't the question be the other way round: Trek in the Who universe? After all, Who covers the whole of space and time, Trek is limited to one galaxy across a few hundred years... ;-)

Is that a pic from the actual moive, they look more like CGI, although the movie Daleks were colourful they look too detailed in that pic to be from the movies, plus i am sure the bases were black instead of gold, but i could be wrong, its been a while since i watched them.

Right. Star Trek: Enterprise begins in 2151, just a year after the second Cushing movie is supposedly set.

[Jim Gamma]

Both series have the concept of a multiverse (Time tracks/e-space/etc in Who), so I see no reason why they can't peacefully coexist. Just not in the same timeline.

Perhaps because modern Who has repeatedly referenced Star Trek as a work of fiction? (But then, in "Remembrance of the Daleks" the original series came within one second of referencing itself as a work of fiction...)

The Cushing movies are not part of Who canon.

That answers that one then!

And in a recent comic strip series, the Doctor managed to visit the Enterprise and work with its crew.

Well, it's possible that's a CG render, but at that resolution, it's hard to determine (at least for me).

However, I will state with reasonable confidence that the red and black Daleks in the first movie did have gold "bumpers". I just ran a Google search and found a few shots that show full length shots of the TechniColor PepperPots. Here's a link...

No, they really aren't part of Who canon. In those movies, Cushing plays a character actually named "Doctor Who" who is actually a human inventor.

My theory is the Cushing films take place in Pete's Universe and Doctor Who is 10.5.

[Mr. Adventure]

They do look like they could work in TOS if you took TOS as an entity on its own ignoring the series that follow. Daleks aren't so unlike Nomad.
