 It was decided a while back that not all BBC idents should necessarily be invalid by default. Previously invalid idents like {{cs|The Doctor and the Reindeer (TV story)}} and {{cs|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)}} were welcomed into the validity club. ''Consider Yourself'' was not one of them, because… I dunno. Why not?
-To use one of the above mentioned idents as an example - 2015's ''Sprout Boy'' has a similar premise to this one: the Twelfth Doctor (who we've unanimously decided to see as the Doctor here, as opposed to Peter Capaldi) throws a Christmas get-together with BBC stars, of both the real and fictional variety. The 2011 ident has a different ratio of real people to fictional characters, but the distinction is still there.

 With the majority of the BBC stars here, there's no definitive way of telling if they're playing themselves, or characters that they're known for. A number of the stars are just known for their presenter roles (Anne Robinson, Gary Lineker, etc.)
