Curiously, [[Incoming Message (webcast)|a webcast]] which serves a very similar narrative purpose to [[Message from the Doctor (webcast)|Message from the Doctor]] is being counted as "valid", while the other one is not. | Curiously, [[Incoming Message (webcast)|a webcast]] which serves a very similar narrative purpose to [[Message from the Doctor (webcast)|Message from the Doctor]] is being counted as "valid", while the other one is not. | ||
I originally thought that ''Message from the Doctor'' should be considered invalid due to its fourth-wall-breaking narrative (even comparing it to Strax Saves the Day) — however, my thoughts have since changed after watching the aforementioned webcast which Strax openly breaks the fourth-wall referring to [[John Hurt]] (although so does a Torchwood episode but in a different context) and [[Billie Piper]] by name. Message from the Doctor doesn't break the fourth wall in the same regard as Strax Saves the Day does, the reason the Doctor is talking to the audience is explained within the narrative, with no references to anything outside of the DWU, with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak of our world only being alluded to. | I originally thought that ''Message from the Doctor'' should be considered invalid due to its fourth-wall-breaking narrative (even comparing it to Strax Saves the Day) — however, my thoughts have since changed after watching the aforementioned webcast which Strax openly breaks the fourth-wall referring to [[John Hurt]] (although so does a Torchwood episode but in a different context) and [[Billie Piper]] by name.
