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...
