Or is it considered to have never actually happened in the who universe? The reason why I ask is that time crash and Doctor Who: Children in need are considered canon so I just wondered if the same applied to dimensions in time.
Is dimensions in time canon?
I count it for three reasons:
1) It's the only televised example of the 6th Doctor with the Brigadier.
2) I like the idea that Romana has met the Mitchell brothers.
3) It annoys a lot of people who take the programme more seriously than they should.

Lol, I don't, as it shows Pauline and Kathy in the future and they are now both dead.

Someone (Nick Cotton?) went back and changed the Timeline. The result was a parallel universe in which Pauline and Kathy died.
I don't cos in recent episodes of Eastenders the character Bradley is a massive who fan and in the shows "reality" Dr Who is considered a fiction, a tv show. Likewise in episodes of Dr Who , Eastenders apears as a tv show.
Although I suspect you posted this as a joke.

True enough.. In Army of Ghosts inparticular with that little scene of Peggy admonishing Den's 'ghost'. Of course, then it gets really weird cos who killed Den? Well, apparantly it was Yvonne Hartman.
I'm calling it a Timey Wimey Paradoxiness and saying yep, DIT is canon. Not very good. But canon.
Sort of.
My take on it is that it happens but it's not real! That is, that Seven is the only *real* Doctor in it - everything else is a hallucination.
I think it's a psychic attack by the Rani on Seven's mind and that the sucking away into nothingness of the earlier Doctors is symbolic of the bits of Seven's mind that are falling to the Rani. It also explain the slightly crazy dream logic that pervades the whole thing.

Each show is always referring to the other as fiction. Long before EastEnders' recent mentions of DW they had a character in the late '80s called Trevor who was a huge fan and would often be seen wearing a t-shirt with Peter Davison and Daleks on it.
And in 'The Impossible Planet' the Doctor cited "This'll be the best Christmas Walford's ever had!" as an example of something that's always said before imminent disaster!
Incidentally one of the novels from the '90s referred to Dimensions In Time as a fevered dream that the 7th Doctor had.

Of course, the TV show Dr Who exists in Dr Who, as nearly seen debuting in 1963 in Remembrance of the Daleks in 1988.

In series 3's episode blink, some of the dvds shown are old doctor who serials.

Good good, although they're not always considered canon lol.
I guess one could argue that it's canon because doctor who's universe isn't necessarily meant to be the real one in which we all live.
Possibly some awful nightmare scenario from the Land of Fiction, the Gods of Ragnarok and the Celestial Toymaker...
