''Scream of the Shalka'' was produced to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of ''Doctor Who''. It was originally posted in six weekly parts from [[13 November]] to [[18 December]] [[2003]] on BBCi's ''Doctor Who'' [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shalka/ website]. Although it was intended to be an "official" continuation of the television series that had ended in [[1989]], the revival of the programme in [[2005]] relegated it and the Richard E. Grant's Ninth Doctor, to non-[[canon]]ical status. | ''Scream of the Shalka'' was produced to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of ''Doctor Who''.

Previous ''Doctor Who'' [[webcast]]s were produced with [[wikipedia:limited animation|limited animation]] which was little more than a series of illustrations. This story was the first-ever officially licensed fully animated ''Doctor Who'' story. ''Doctor Who'' had suspended production in [[1989]], Aside from charity specials, it had only resurfaced as an American-funded [[Doctor Who (1996)|television movie]] in [[1996]] which didn't garner enough ratings to go to a regular series. When ''Shalka'' was announced in July [[2003]] for broadcast in November, the possibility of ''Doctor Who'' returning to television screens still seemed remote and BBC Worldwide were shopping around for another possible movie deal. As a result, BBCi announced, with BBC approval, that the Doctor appearing in ''Shalka'' would be the "official" Ninth Doctor. However, events rapidly overtook this. | Previous ''Doctor Who'' [[webcast]]s were produced with [[wikipedia:limited animation|limited animation]] which was little more than a series of illustrations.
