:No. There was [[Thread:272784|an open thread about this]] before the Forum [https://tardis.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000082913 froze, blew up, unexploded, and was frozen again].

==Validity of The Zygon Isolation shouldn't Zygon Isolation be treated as invalid? Rollface in 3d spac (GarfielfStuff) ☎ 16:49, November 8, 2020 (UTC)
- No. There was an open thread about this before the Forum froze, blew up, unexploded, and was frozen again. But the short version is, The Zygon Isolation doesn't do anything other stories didn't do first; an in-universe Doctor Who is well-documented in valid sources even setting aside that particular webcast. It's just more brazen about it than previous stories. And Peter Harness's later comments about the webcast in DWM make it clear he considers it a valid continuation of the Osgoods' story.
- Of course, there is no such thing as canon: our validity policies are choices the Wiki makes for the purposes of the writing of its articles. No one's asking you to treat it as valid in your headcanon if you don't want to. But unless some really startling new evidence is added to that Forum thread once it's open again, I don't see any scenario where we're likely to invalidate The Zygon Isolation. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:05, November 8, 2020 (UTC)
