Talk:K9's Question Time (TV story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Invalid
Do people agree with is being labelled invalid? - Sir DENCH-and-PALMER ☎ 22:30, December 18, 2016 (UTC)
- I do. Stargazing Live is not a DW show. Shambala108 ☎ 00:34, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
- I agree with its invalidity. However if we consider it in a "Children in Need" sense (a story being broadcast during another show), then is it still invalid? - Sir DENCH-and-PALMER ☎ 07:37, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
- You know, I see this discussion never had a conclusion, and I'd very much like to see what part of Tardis:Valid sources rules out stories which happened to be released packaged inside a non-Doctor Who-branded show. As long as the story's officially released and makes sense on its own, why should we care in what context it was released?

- There's precedent for shorts released in the middle of non-narrative TV specials, but presented as stories of their own which can be watched for their own sakes, to be valid. And wouldn't a rule of this sort, if extended to non-TV media, rule out short stories printed in non-DW anthologies — i.e. Decalog 5: Wonders.
- It may, of course, be that K9's Question Time is invalid for other reasons, for all we know. Certainly, going by the title, it might well be fourth-wall-breaking in the mould of Search Out Space. But I'm puzzled by the suggestion that “it was broadcast inside a non-DW show” is enough to declare it invalid, especially with the Children in Need precedent cited earlier. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:21, May 31, 2019 (UTC)
