If BBC Wales says it's valid, then it's canon. That's a lot clearer than vague references to CURSE OF THE FATAL DEATH as a dream.

:Well, BBC Wales makes virtually no pronouncements on what they think of as a "valid" story. And the issue here is that there's an official BBC-made in-character "snippet" which directly challenges the BBC Wales-made episode of [[SJA]] on the issue of the [[21st century]] nature of [[Ian Chesterton]]. Sarah Jane tells us that Ian is unaged from his 1963/5 appearance, whereas this in-character linking narration shows us a man with white hair claiming to be Sir Ian Chesterton. And don't even get me started on the minefield that is the Fourth Doctor narration of ''The Power of the Daleks''. Thing is though we do need to at least ''consider'' how to deal with these oddities. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''02:47:05 Tue '''23 Aug 2011 </span> | :Well, BBC Wales makes virtually no pronouncements on what they think of as a "valid" story.

I was under the impression that Ian's lack of aging is a rumor and may refer to his zest for life. According to his entry in this wiki: | |||
''According to a rumour Sarah Jane Smith shared with Clyde and Rani, Barbara and Ian had become professors at Cambridge by at least the 2010s and had not aged since the 1960s. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)'' | |||
That doesn't sound definitive to me, since we neither see it on SJA or have her say she saw it. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 02:53, August 23, 2011 (UTC) | |||
