Doctor Who is a long-running science-fantasy series. Originally launched as a TV series, it has also (and at times only) existed in other media, including but not limited to novels, comics, stage plays, theatrical films and games.

The series was an avowed influence on the creation of Jenny Everywhere, with the titular character being cited in 2002 as an inspiration for Jenny by Steven Wintle in one of the original Barbelith forum-threads where Jenny was created — including for the notion that like the Doctor's, Jenny's birth name should remain a mystery, with it being assumed that "Jenny Everywhere" was an alias. Although only worn by some incarnations of the character, a scarf is one of the items closely associated with Dr Who in the popular consciousness, and may thus have been an inspiration for Jenny Everywhere's scarf.

Owing to this filiation, Doctor Who has often been referenced in Jenny Everywhere media, although an official crossover with the primary Doctor Who series has yet to occur. The Doctor or the TARDIS made several cameos in independent Jenny Everywhere stories (starting with The Late Shift). What appears to be Circular Gallifreyan writing can be seen on the back-cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Multiverse in the back-cover illustration of COMIC: When Casting Calls.

AXEe, author of the Jenny Everywhere novella PROSE: The Multidimensional Traveler's Almanac, wrote a short non-commercial Doctor Who fanfic featuring a guest appearance by an incarnation of Jenny, under the title of PROSE: Shifting. Laura Seabrook's twin contributions to Jenny Everywhere Day 2015, PROSE: Photo shoot/Ace Rules OK!, featured a version of Jenny playing pranks on multiple incarnations of the Doctor. The very NSFW Chapter 2 of the 2022 multi-fandom fanfic drabble compilation Shippy Shifter Snippets was set in a variant of the Doctor Who universe, and featured versions of the TARDIS, Clara Oswald and the Eleventh Doctor. Scott Sanford's The Folly of Men featured Captain Stewart and an Intelligence Taskforce that were implicitly pre-TV versions of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and UNIT.

In the comments of The Theater Room, one of his chapters for Our Strange and Wonderful House, Jay Dee acknowledged Doctor Who, and particularly the Silence, as inspirations.

There is a longstanding theory that Jenny, the Doctor's daughter, from the eponymous Doctor Who episode, may be the Doctor Who universe's version of Jenny Everywhere, possibly regenerating into a form closer to the standard Jenny appearance at some point after the episode in question. However, stories set in the Third Universe featuring the native Jenny do not align with this idea.

While many Jenny Everywhere stories unofficially crossed over with Doctor Who, the first, albeit implicit, crossover happened in the 2021 novel Cybergeddon, which featured a cameo of Jenny Everywhere. Several stories in The Book of the Snowstorm featured Jennies in more prominent roles, thus resulting in full crossovers. Jennies would later appear in stories published by The Cheshire House and Realms of Ink.
