Non-DWU[[edit source]]

So is this only non-DWU because Doctor Who is purely shown as fictional? Because... Cookieboy 2005 14:39, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Doctor Who being shown as fictional is not a clincher for invalidity, as you say. But that doesn't mean we should pretend that skits that give us no reason, otherwise, to construe them as being set in the DWU, are DWU-stories-with-a-meta-Doctor-Who. In this case, the clear gist of the Invasion of Earth short is that a little boy in the real world is daydreaming about imaginary monsters — it's like Bardley's William Hartnell having a vision of the Eleventh Doctor in An Adventure in Space and Time. If we had an authorial-intent quote saying it was set in the DWU after all, we might well allow it in, but in its absence there's no real reason to assume that's the intent.
