Yesterday's [[DWM 606|new issue of ''Doctor Who Magazine'']] included, among a variety of neat and interesting things, the fifth instalment of Morris' ''[[Loose Ends]]'', a series of short stories-come-fact files that shed some light on the left over plot threads and lingering questions from classic stories. Each single-page instalment is split into three sections; ''Scenes Unseen'' (a short narrative that covers an unseen event set adjacent to a particular story), ''Where Are They Now?'' (a brief account from a different guest or minor character of an unseen part of their life), and ''The Unexplained'' (in which Morris gives his own answers for general unexplained questions).

I wasn't the one who began the wiki's coverage of these sections, but the general consensus appears to be that the narrative parts are all considered valid. | ||
Yesterday's instalment, titled ''[[Loose Ends 5: Ian Memoriam (short story)|Ian Memoriam]]'', was made as a tribute to [[William Russell]]. The ''Scenes Unseen'' portion confirms Ian's in-universe death at some point after ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'', while ''The Unexplained'' answers the question of how Ian and Barbara explained their two year absence to their colleagues (short answer: they didn't need to, because ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]''). | Yesterday's instalment, titled ''[[Loose Ends 5: Ian Memoriam (short story)|Ian Memoriam]]'', was made as a tribute to [[William Russell]].
