A couple of quick Doctor Who connections:
The "British Rocket Group" is mentioned in episodes of both the old Doctor Who series ("Remembrance of the Daleks") as well as the new series ("The Christmas Invasion"). It is also mentioned that a certain "Bernard" is involved in this British Rocket Group in the first of those episodes. These are references to the classic Britsh sci-fi Quatermass serials - "The Quatermass Experiment" (1953), "Quatermass II" (1955), "Quatermass and the Pit" (1958) and "Quatermass" (1979) - as well as to the lead character Bernard Quatermass, who indeed is the head of the British Rocket Group. The Wikipedia articles on the two Doctor Who serials point out the connection...
The second (for the moment potential) connection is that Torchwood is apparently going to get a mention on the upcoming season of the British sci-fi series Primeval. If this does indeed happen, that will connect yet another British series...
(And I do think you should count the Doctor Who/Eastenders crossover, even though it was just a charity special. After all, actors from both series were acting *in character* for the program)

I also have a few Doctor Who connections on my list which I gave to crossoverman but he has yet to post it yet
Once he douse you will see how the Doctor is connected to shows like Blue Thunder, Sir Francis Drake, and Rome
