And a third being an issue I want to raise with 'by the time of its release,' - episode 1 of the unmade ''Blood of the Robots'' was first-drafted in December 2003. Obviously, I understand saying that I've got said script on hand wouldn't be admissible evidence, but this is something that Simon Clark and Paul Scoones can both personally attest to as well. As can Jon Arnold, who covered the topic in Black Archive No. 10. | And a third being an issue I want to raise with 'by the time of its release,' - episode 1 of the unmade ''Blood of the Robots'' was first-drafted in December 2003.

This does raise quite a question (particularly for future validity discussions on ''Shalka'') in that it does mean the Shalka Doctor series was still in active development in December 2003 '''whilst the story was at least halfway through its release'''. Coupled with the active commission of ''The Feast of the Stone'', it does cast rather a bit of doubt on the situation. Why would the team on this still be actively working on a further story's script as ''Shalka'' went out, if they weren't of the belief that they would be continuing on & that they 'counted'?

:Well… I'm with you on all of this. We're due for a nth ''Shalka'' thread, there, to be sure, When The Forums Reopen(TM). But the fact is that per [[T:BOUND]] we do have to take the earlier information to be true. Yes, it is unfortunate that we have to continue peddling potentially incorrect information until a new thread can be created — but it would be worse, for the Wiki's integrity overall, if we acknowledged all the reasons it should be invalid ''even as'' we continued to tag ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]'' as {{tl|invalid}}.
