::::You've got me all wrong if you think I'm saying [[Peter Harness]] was ''lying'' about his having actually planned the novel. I think he claimed to have planned the novel in 2015 as a self-evidently outrageous metafictional framing for his new short story — no different from the framing of ''[[The Thief of Sherwood (short story)|The Thief of Sherwood]]'' being framed as scavenged material of a lost Hartnell serial. There's no lying because the readers aren't supposed to believe for one moment that the improbable 2015 novelisation ever existed.
