Continuity
Since this story is not considered canon, the continuity section has been removed and placed here instead. The following was removed:
- This story takes place immediately after TV: The War Games and immediately before TV: Spearhead from Space, which is at odds with the Season 6B put forth primarily by TV: The Two Doctors and COMIC: Action in Exile. (The group may be unknowingly viewing a recording, and actually retrieved the Doctor during his forced regeneration at the end of COMIC: The Night Walkers. This would not be out-of-character for the Time Lords, as they had a spy among the TARDIS group and later manipulated video evidence to frame the Doctor for crimes they committed {TV: The Trial of a Time Lord}.)
- Although not addressed, the Third Doctor looking considerably older at the start of his lifetime than seen in Spearhead from Space is not necessarily an error. In TV: The Christmas Invasion, it is established that a Time Lord can alter his or her body immediately after the regeneration (and is supported by Romana I's regeneration in TV: Destiny of the Daleks). TV: Time Crash also establishes that if two incarnations of the same Time Lord interact, it can cause one of them to appear older.
- The Third Doctor would hear the final words he spoke to the Second-and-a-Halfth Doctor at the end of his own life, uttered by K'anpo Rimpoche to Sarah Jane Smith and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in TV: Planet of the Spiders.

- That's a very weak argument. Our definition of "canon" is simply "what we cover." We should write "non-cannon" articles like any other, but with the non-dwu tag at the top. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 17:36, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
- How? It is a non DWU story, so it can't have continuity. See talk:P.S. (webcast) for another example. MM/Want to talk? 17:40, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
- It's non DWU because we don't cover it. P.S. is a story that is a deleted scene that many out of our reach consider canon. This is a dvd feature starring Jon Pertwee that many people consider somewhat cannon. To say "Well, because we don't cover it in our mainstream canon we're gonna fail to mention any references to other episodes it makes" is just bloody stupid.

- I would suggest you start a forum discussion if you bothered about it. MM/Want to talk? 19:20, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
