Raxacoricofallapatorian stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Raxacoricofallapatorian story" is one in which one living, authentic Raxacoricofallapatorian plays a part within the confines of the story, usually a Slitheen family member, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. Stories like The End of Time, The Gift and The Nightmare Man are also not included due to the Slitheens' cameos being of no consequence to the plot of the story.
