The serial finished production shortly before the BBC announced [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|a live-action ''Doctor Who'' revival]] with [[Russell T Davies]] at the helm, with ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 336|issue 336]] infamously announcing ''both'' on its front cover. The live-action series would eventually introduce [[Christopher Eccleston]] as the [[Ninth Doctor]], marking an incongruence that led to ''Shalka'' being disregarded by most ''Doctor Who'' fans. However, from [[November (releases)|November]] [[2003 (releases)|2003]] to [[April (releases)|April]] [[2004 (releases)|2004]], the Richard E Grant Doctor was still treated as a valid incarnation by the BBC, with [[The Feast of the Stone (short story)|one short story]] premiering the day after [[DWM 342|Eccleston was announced as the Ninth Doctor]]. Several novels (specifically ''[[Sometime Never... (novel)|Sometime Never...]]'', ''[[The Deadstone Memorial (novel)|The Deadstone Memorial]]'', and ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'') either foreshadowed or referenced the webcast as one potential future for the [[Eighth Doctor]]. | The serial finished production shortly before the BBC announced [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|a live-action ''Doctor Who'' revival]] with [[Russell T Davies]] at the helm, with ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 336|issue 336]] infamously announcing ''both'' on its front cover.

[[Paul Cornell]]'s intention with the story was that between [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the 1996 TV movie]] and ''Shalka'', an alien threat had attempted to invade [[Gallifrey]], wiping out the [[Time Lord]] race and leaving the Doctor worn emotionally by the conflict.
