I agree with Callum that while a lot of 40k fans may like Doctor Who, the same can't be said in reverse. Storytelling wise, it's a show based on building up suspense and running away from the week's big bad monster. I don't think it would work out too well with the ammount of action / bloodshed that would happen with a 40k crossover, no matter how awesome it would be to see.

That being said, I think Doctor Who fans would get some of the basic concepts:

Space Marines = Daleks. Both are brightly colored (most of the time), genetically modified, xenophobic, hate filled dealers in death that serve an emperor and want to rule the galaxy

Necrons = the original version of the Cybermen. Both are unfeeling metal villains that used to be people long ago until they were converted into machanical dealers in death that want to rule the galaxy

I think I'm noticing a pattern here...
