Call The Doctor!
There's a lovely tribute from one long time BBC tv show to our own Coronation Street over here. Yes, Doctor Who has given Corrie a nod on it's Golden Anniversary and with a little of the Doctor's jiggery-pokery magic, maybe The TARDIS can touch down in Weatherfield to lend a helping hand during the crisis at hand!
Doctor Who and Coronation Street do have a lot in common, with actors appearing in both series over the years. Helen Worth was in it in the 70s, Sarah Lancashire was in it in the season before the one just seen. Suranne Jones will be in an episode in the coming season and Elizabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith on Doctor Who in the 70s and now has her own Sarah Jane series was in Corrie for 6 episodes in 1970! Of course, current producer Phil Collinson comes to Corrie from Doctor Who as does director Graham Harper!

This would be brilliant!
When Phil Collinson was made producer, I had visions of the Daleks in the Rovers, coming up to the bar and yelling, "EXTERMINATE!"
And then Betty would hit them upside the head and walk to the back room.
Also the actor who played Todd in Corrie was in a few David Tennant episodes of Doctor Who as well and even took a spin in the TARDIS!
I remember seeing Phil Collinson many times on Dr. Who Confidential "back in the day", and was always impressed. When I found out he was the new producer for Corrie, I thought I'd died & gone to heaven.
JaffaCakes, that's hysterically funny about Betty & the Daleks! No contest!
Coronation Street's great strength has always been women who could scare the bumps off a Dalek. Enda Sharples, Elsie Tanner, Annie Walker... right up to the present day.
