Series Placing

Is there any reason this story is considered a part of series 9, rather than series 8? Considering when it was produced/when it aired/how it deals with the narrative threads left hanging from series 8, I'd say it was the last story of that series, as opposed to the first story of the next one. Is there any reason why this isn't the case? KingOrokos 14:45, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

I believe it's because of production reasons, not story reasons. JagoAndLitefoot 15:11, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
I thought that might be the case, but I can't actually find any evidence that it was produced as part of series 9 rather than 8. Considering it was filmed September-October 2014, and filming for on series 9 only started in January 2015, I would presume it was considered part of series 8's production blocks. There might be some evidence I haven't found that says otherwise, though. KingOrokos 15:52, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
Ever since 2012, production "seasons" have gone out of the window. This matter was discussed at Thread:180640, and we came to the conclusion that home video releases would form the basis of how we construed "seasons" following the end of production code use.
