Is our sole reason for declaring this non-DWU really that it takes place in a universe where Doctor Who is fiction? Because now it's established Doctor Who exists as [[Doctor Who (The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who)|a work of fiction both in]] [[Meta-fiction universe|another universe]] [[The Doctor in popular culture and mythology|and in]] [[N-Space]], I see no further justification for this.

:What is key is intent. ''[[The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who (comic story)|The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Deadline (audio story)|Deadline]]'' or ''[[The Thief of Sherwood (short story)|The Thief of Sherwood]]'' were advertised as ''Doctor Who'' stories, and are known to have been intended to fit into the DWU somehow. ''An Adventure in Space and Time'' could very well be valid if it turns out that authorial intent was that it took place in N-Space or in a dimension parallel to it — it's just that no such quote has yet been found. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] cameo could arguably count, I suppose, but is, IIRC, referred to in the YouTube upload as a cameo by ''[[Matt Smith]]'', instead, so I dunno. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:16, April 18, 2020 (UTC) | :What is key is intent.

== Main enemy: Mervyn Pinfield == | |||
Why is Mervyn Pinfield listed as the main enemy of the story? Yes, he was part of the "old boys club", but surely enemy is a strong word for such a key figure in the show's early history. | |||
