It just wouldn't work. In spite of the monsters and evil stuff in Doctor Who the show operates on a generally positive narrative. The same can not be said of 40k. This would be a classic GrimDark meets NobleBright scenario. Regardless of what happens one is going to break the other. Either the Doctor would be unable to make a real dent in the everspiralling storm of misery and violence that is 40k, and thus the magic of the doctor's character would dissipate, or the doctor would magically fix everything as he so often does and 40k would be drastically altered, and no longer the dark gritty setting that so many of us know and love. It's a lose/lose situation.
