Both of those debuted in ''Doctor Who stories'' though. They didn't incidentally contain this or that Doctor Who element, but rather were outright released under the Doctor Who banner, "hosted" by the DWU. I don't get what distinction you're trying to make here. Of course they don't all feature characters like the Doctor, or it wouldn't be a spin-off, just the parent franchise. But they still star primary characters who were introduced ''in'' Doctor Who (or another spin-off I suppose). Gently was not, and the series isn't called "The Adventures of Professor Chronotis" (and such a hypothetical series I WOULD consider a spin-off of which the entirety should he covered, as it happens).

In other words, if the Gently series ''is'' a spin-off, what is it spinning off ''from''? Vienna and Sleeze Bros. both can be traced back to stories released as part of some ongoing DWU project. What would Gently even be a spin-off from? The first book could be argued to be a spin-off of Shada, but it certainly seems odd, to me, to try to argue that the entire series is a "spin-off" of... itself!
