* In an interview, Peter Cushing stated that he believed that his human incarnation of the Doctor was canon, and that his film version of the Doctor and the television Doctor were bridged together by the Celestial Toymaker. His theory was that his Doctor is a future incarnation kidnapped by the Toymaker, who "wiped his memory and made him relive some of his earlier adventures." | * In an interview, Peter Cushing stated that he believed that his human incarnation of the Doctor was canon, and that his film version of the Doctor and the television Doctor were bridged together by the Celestial Toymaker.

* In ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' issue 469, [[Steven Moffat]] stated that he wrote a scene for [[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' in which [[Kate Stewart]] would walk past posters for the Peter Cushing films while noting the "need to screen the Doctor's known associates". Moffat explained that he believed the films existed in the DWU as "distorted accounts" of the Doctor's adventures. However, the production team could not afford the rights to the posters. <ref>http://www.kasterborous.com/2014/01/moffat-planned-feature-peter-cushings-dr-anniversary-special/</ref> | |||
