Dimensions in Time was a two part special for Children In Need back in 1993. It's full of WTF.
Honestly, this mini makes RTD look like a genius.

All available Doctors, villains, and companions just pop in and out for little or no reason! Oh look, there's Romana! Hey, that's Leela!! Oooh, the Rani being evil, right over there!

It's true! Though I had hard time figureing out some of the people.
Also, did you know that it was a crossover with East Enders?!?!

I did, but since I've never seen Eastenders.... I'm sure all those characters just popped in and out too...

Yep, it's so made of crack it's not even funny seriously, East Enders and multi-era DW?  The floating heads at the beginning give me the willies. |

Dimensions in Time Part One.
Ok so there is some weird special effects going on.
Oh look it's some lady in a Tardis. She is talking about pickless & time.
Why is One and Twos head flooting around? They are really creppy looking
Ok so her companion is talking about tunnals and guest.
The lady wants to drive them insane.
/Theme Starts
DOCTOR WHO RAVE!!! *brings out the glow sticks*
/Ends
Oh look its Four. Getting pretty cubby there Four.
He's sending out a message to all the other Doctors. Hahaha he asks that for once they listen to him.
Oh No, the person who is after them is RANI!!!!!!!!
Now Four is going on about how Rani hates him and Children.
So Rani has One and Two. Four has nicknames for One and Two. I can't make out Twos nickname.
OH NO! SHE WANTS TO LOCK THE DOCTORS IN LONDONS EAST END!!!!
Four can hear heart beats.
Four calls everyone his dears. This message shows how self centred Four is.
------
A CYBERMEN IS LOCKED IN A TARDIS.
A RANDOM TIME LORD IS ALSO LOCK IN A TARDIS.
RANIS TARDIS THAT IS!!!
Rani needs a Earthling.
She wants the Doctor gone. ... Now she is starting to have secound thoughts.
-----
Seven and Ace come out of the Tardis. Seven thinks he is in China.
Ace tells me him he is not by pointing at a big boat.
Seven reads a newspaper that just so happens to be left behind.
IT'S 1973!!!!
Seven has theory but Ace isn't listening. Which makes seven mad.
BAM!!!!
Now Ace is at Albert Square with Six. Ace doesn't think he is the Doctor.
How does Six know that's Ace?
Six talks and looks at fruit.
Ace finds some clothes at a street stall.
The guy who is trying to sell the shirt is Sanjay from East Enders.
Six doesn't like Aces top that she tried on, it clashes with his Jacket.
Sanjays wife says it going to be all the rage in 1994 and Six has a scary look on his face.
BAM
It's THREE with Mel.
Look it's Pauline Fowler and Kathy Beale (from East Enders) selling fruit in a stall.
Three just dissed the ladies Fruit and Prices. XD
Mel is looking at clouth. Pauline Fowler and Kathy Beale mubble stuff about the clouth and some style coming back in fashion after 10 years.
Three wants to know what year it is and is getting angry.
Turns out its 2013.
BAM
Two ladies are talking about President Kennedys death.
Six has his arm around Susan. He has that creepy look in his face. Like he is luring her to his flat to do evil acts. Creep
Susan doesn't blieve Six is her granddad.
Now she is whinning that she wants HER Doctor.
BAM
Look it's Sarah Jane! I like her outfit.
She sees Three! She's acting as if they haven't split at all.
They almost figure out what is going on. I don't get how The Doctor and his companion can change. O.o
I can't find Romana II
BAM
Oh, its Rani talking again.
BAM
Look, it's Five! He rhyming with Nyssa (I think). Peri is there too.
Now they are running a way from evil monsters.
Now they are telling Pat Butcher (East Enders) to run away. She doesn't listen.
MORE MONSTERS AT THE PUB!
Oh no, they're locked in a park.
More monsters and a Time Laord with a gun.
Five has to be the best looking Doctor. All the other Doctors have aged badly.
Oh no there's Rani with a gun. She is going to kill Five.
DOCTOR WHO RAVE TIME!!
/end of part one

I'm too afraid to watch this again. So no running commentary from me.
I don't remember it too well and I'd like to keep it that way.

Yeah, it kind of frightened me when I saw it and I don't really want to watch it again. And the floating heads...  |

The only things I really liked about it was the return of the Rani (Yeah Rani!), Ace teaming up with the Sixth Doctor, the return of Leela, and seeing the Fifth Doctor get snarky with the Rani (PD had some very entertaining lines in my opinion).

I couldn't get past the floating heads.
EDIT: I dared myself to watch the whole thing. I now know that continuity is only a good thing if the story makes sense.

Okay, I need to see this sucker before I can make fun of how coked-out it is.
Can anyone spare me a link?

Whenever you're disappointed by an episode of Who, just put your head between your legs and chant "at least it wasn't Dimensions in Time, at least it wasn't Dimensions in Time..."
*shakes head*

It's just bizarre, isn't it? It does assume an extra level of WTF-edness, though, if you're familiar with the Eastenders of that era - the two bald guys talking to Romana II are the notorious Mitchell brothers, who were dodgy-mechanics-cum-pub-landlords-cum-really-really-small-time-gangsters and sort of the main characters at the time. And the floating heads! I remember seeing it when it was first shown (there was a lot of other slightly rubbish 30th anniversary documentaries and stuff on around about the same time, all of which were superior to this!), and just being taken aback by how _bad_ it was. And I was going through major Who withdrawal symptoms at the time, thanks to having the good timing to become a rabid fan at just the moment it got cancelled, which this did nothing whatsoever to alleviate. Ah well, there were the NAs to read and old VHS's to watch...

I am torn between my desire to view this thing for myself, and my fear that I will need massive quantities of brain bleach if I do. Advice anyone?

It's not really brain bleach material, though it certainly is cringe-worthy and the floaty head bit is just plain creepy. For the most part it's just a whole lot of WTF? piled together into an incoherent mass of random. I'd say watch it at least once for the lolz, and then shake your head, wash your hands, and never mention it again.
