::One could argue that because they're significantly different in a number of regards, they could be separate adventures. It's a massively thorny issue though, and would require a very careful reading of the novel to establish them as wholly distinct adventures. Paul Cornell, for his part, wrote a bit of a tome on canon following the televised adventure, essentially to avoid having to directly answer which one was the more canonical.

I haven't found an explicitly defined reason why The [[Seventh Doctor]] 'changed' into [[John Smith (novel)]] in the [[PROSE]] novel {any help??}. When The [[Tenth Doctor]] used the [[Chameleon Arch]] to hide himself from his pursuers The Tardis might have chosen an identitiy and a space time setting based upon The Doctor's previous experiences as a human; same alias, same location on Earth and one year previous to his having been there before. The Tardis might even be drawing from The Doctor's subconscious desire to return to [[Farringham]]. | ||
::::Can the two stories co-exist as separate adventures for The Doctor? A brief comparisons of The Tardis Index File entries for [[Human Nature (TV story)]] and [[Human Nature (novel)]] finds only three characters with the same name; Joan Redford, Hutchinson and Mr. Rocastle. The adversaries are different, their mode of travel is different and the schools have different names. If the town has two boys schools then a student named Hutchinson at each one is not that unusual and Mr. Rocastle of the one could be the borther or cousin of Mr. Rocastle of the other. The true thorn is in the rose: Joan Redford presents the most difficult obstacle for fans who want to have their cake and eat it too. | ::::Can the two stories co-exist as separate adventures for The Doctor?

::::The best arguments I can think of that both accept the differences and incorporate the similarities involve The Doctor's life between the two adventures; Namely, a) He fought in the [[Last Great Time War]] and this somehow allows for the differences to exist within the same town in two different years; and b) The [[Eighth Doctor]]'s life is full of paradoxes and this could be one of them stretching out to his other incarnations in both directions - anchored together through his ability to embrace love. --[[User:Stillnotginger|Stillnotginger]] 19:48, February 16, 2010 (UTC) | ::::The best arguments I can think of that both accept the differences and incorporate the similarities involve The Doctor's life between the two adventures; Namely, a) He fought in the [[Last Great Time War]] and this somehow allows for the differences to exist within the same town in two different years; and b) The [[Eighth Doctor]]'s life is full of paradoxes and this could be one of them stretching out to his other incarnations in both directions - anchored together through his ability to embrace love. --[[User:Stillnotginger|Stillnotginger]] 19:48, February 16, 2010 (UTC) | ||
