::: Czech, I want you to know that I disagree and that I will figt until the end of time against any action to make ''Shada'' non-valid. However, please note that you are the greatest admin ever. After visiting another wikia, I know realise that you are awesome. That is all.

::::Thanks for the compliment. It's much appreciated. I've enjoyed working with you, too, and hope you've seen my constant presence on your talk page instructive rather than oppressive. | |||
::::As to the specific matter of ''Shada'', though, this is a thing that's long been settled on this wiki. Check out the dates on [[Forum:Are deleted scenes canon?]]. HOMEVID: ''Shada'' has been thrown overboard for literally years now. And we now have a claim to BBC representatives specifically casting it aside, as well. IN a recent interview, Steve Roberts of 2|Entertain has said, {{quote|I thought [the McGann ''Shada''] should be included however, as it's part of the official BBC canon by virtue of being broadcast (which is ironic, as the BBC Video version itself isn't!), so I worked closely with James Goss to package it into a form that could be viewed easily on an PC or Mac via a simple web interface.|Steve Roberts[http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2012/11/legacy-shada-081112154508.html]}} | |||
::::That's, without a doubt, the ''clearest'' statement on the relative "canonicity" of HOMEVID: ''Shada'' and WC: ''Shada'' I've ever seen, and it puts the matter to conclusive rest. The official representative of the copyright holder is saying without ambiguity that the WC is "canon" while the HOMEVID version isn't. I think this statement also has relevance to ''P.S.'', because you have a BBC guy saying the mark of validity is that the story made it to market in its intended form. HOMEVID isn't canon (to use Roberts' word, which I doubt the BBC likes too much) because it wasn't finished. Likewise, ''P.S.'' wasn't finished so it doesn't count. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 06:12: Sat 10 Nov 2012</span> | |||
