:::he's hosting a TV show, not just abstractly talking to the screen; so in that sense it's an "in-universe transmission" sort of thing, not a ''Trip of a Lifetime'' affair. But there are some Rule 4 concerns on the basis of the Doctor casually hosting a TV show like this, as a celebrity. This is a good example of something which probably '''shouldn't be valid by ''default'''''. | :::he's hosting a TV show, not just abstractly talking to the screen; so in that sense it's an "in-universe transmission" sort of thing, not a ''Trip of a Lifetime'' affair.

::I think this is a case where the onus is on those wishing for validity to argue that this is intended to be set in the DWU per current precedent, rather than vice versa. (Not that I approve of this undermining of R4.) (And I note that on the talk page there is substantial disagreement as to whether it should be valid or not.)

::: I mean, a lot of things have shown the Doctor to sometimes be a celebrity of sorts, such as ''[[TV Comic]]''. Additionally, there are the likes of ''[[The Doctor Drops In (TV story)|The Doctor Drops In]]'' and ''[[The Doctor Appears (TV story)|The Doctor Appears]]'', where he arrives live on stage, to audience applause.
