I think that the ''[[Doctor Who Unbound|Unbound]]'' audio drama ''[[Deadline (audio story)|Deadline]]'' should be invalid because, unlike most ''Unbound'' stories, it doesn't attempt to portray a version of the ''Doctor Who'' universe, but rather an alternate history of the ''Doctor Who'' series. It has no more business being valid than ''[[What If? (feature)|What If]]'' or ''[[The Corridor Sketch]]''.

Putting aside the "alternative histories of ''Doctor Who'' aren't valid argument", even if the audio is invalidated, it is immediately ''re''-validated due to R4BP as [[All Our Christmases (short story)]] is, as far as the Wiki makes clear, a sequel to ''Deadline''.
But, although I cannot remember its name, IIRC the thread that validated the ''Unbound'' audios brought up the evidence that Big Finish intended ''all'' of them to take place in alternate universes. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 23:20, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Putting aside the "alternative histories of Doctor Who aren't valid argument", even if the audio is invalidated, it is immediately re-validated due to R4BP as All Our Christmases (short story) is, as far as the Wiki makes clear, a sequel to Deadline.

But, although I cannot remember its name, IIRC the thread that validated the Unbound audios brought up the evidence that Big Finish intended all of them to take place in alternate universes.
