Indeed. "Parodical quality" is often in the eye of the beholder; you could very well argue that ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'' is a parody of a celebrity historical, or at the very least a parody of a Robin Hood movie, yet we're hardly going to call it invalid on that basis. "Parody" in T:VS means "a parody of ''Doctor Who''", I think it's fair to say — and even then, only when it is ''clearly'' the authorial intent that it is a parody. Where essentially, authorial intent that a story be a parody is equivalent to authorial intent that the story isn't set in the real DWU — hence failing Rule 4. | Indeed.

Sure, they reuse visuals to depict new things. But do you have a minute to spare about prop reuse, and dodgy backgrounds, in the Classic Series? It hardly invalidates ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'' that for no logical reason to speak of, [[the War Chief]] is wearing a [[Zephon (species)|Zephon]] medallion — or, for that matter, that [[Goth|one of the Time Lord judges]] looks exactly like [[Lemuel Gulliver]] because the BBC only had so many actors on hand. I think we're allowed to exercise some amount of common sense in these matters. The [[First Doctor]] isn't supposed to have a different face in ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', and you're not supposed to see the wires, and that device is not Platform One. | Sure, they reuse visuals to depict new things.
