Behind the Scenes
Canonicity
Just after the new 2005 series was announced with the official Ninth Doctor, the BBC webcast starring the "new" Doctor, Scream of the Shalka, was released onto the BBC website. This caused this Doctor to be shunted into "unofficial" status. Lance Parkin in his AHistory reasons that since this incarnation of the Doctor never literally specified himself as the ninth (but only heavily implied it) that this version of the Doctor could still one day exist in the Tenth Doctor's future.
In EDA: The Gallifrey Chronicles it is noted that the Eighth Doctor has three possible Ninth bodies: (presumedly) this version, The Curse of Fatal Death version and the official Ninth Doctor.
Possible appearance in The Cabinet of Light
Some fans have noted the coincidental similarity between the unspecified incarnation of the Doctor seen in the Telos Novella The Cabinet of Light by Daniel O'Mahony and the Shalka version.
