Because this story has now been officially completed by the BBC, even getting a cinema (as of writing), DVD and Blu-Ray release (2 weeks from release as of writing), wouldn't it now be officially a valid source, and the infobox can put in the date of the completed version?

"A man who is probably Chronotis reappears in PROSE: Unnatural History as Professor Daniel Joyce."

One of the authors of Unnatural History specifically denies this in a Usenet post:

Prisoners of Shada[[edit source]]

Should the prisoners of Shada be added to the cast list? Or should a list of them merely be added to the Story Notes?

My sources are from In Vision's issue 44 of Shada and Doctor Who Plotlines - Shada.

The prisoners and the actors / actresses who would of played them are:

Lucretia Borgia - Ann Lee

Boedicia - Joan Harsant

Lady Macbeth - Shirley Conrad

Salome - Julie Le Rousse

Executioner - John Cannon

Rasputin - Derek Moss

Nero - Barry Summerford

Gladiator - Steve Kelly

Genghis Khan - Dave Cooper

Dalek - Steve Ismay

Cyberman - Ridgewell Hawkes

Zygon - Les Shannon

Other prisoners not mentioned in the cast list but elsewhere in the magazine were:

Rungar, a war criminal

Sabjatric, a mass murderer

Wirrn

Invalid source[[edit source]]

According to T:VALID this is invalid because it is one big deleted scene. Therefore, I am adding an invalid source tag.--104.32.214.184talk to me 23:39, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Continuity[[edit source]]

It is a policy of this wiki that stories labelled as "invalid source" do not have continuity. I have removed the continuity entries from this article and am placing them here. Shambala108 ☎ 00:07, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, there's clips of both Romanas in Resurrection of the Daleks.165.225.80.225talk to me 16:40, November 23, 2017 (UTC)

Shada on Gold[[edit source]]

just wondering abuot this clip wich seems to show that the 1992 version of shada was shown on uk gold in 1995 just wondering if its real or fake and wether it whoud make shada valid <--removed per Tardis:Video policy-->

Because this story has now been officially completed by the BBC, even getting a cinema (as of writing), DVD and Blu-Ray release (2 weeks from release as of writing), wouldn't it now be officially a valid source, and the infobox can put in the date of the completed version?
