From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

I mean Buried Treasures, sorry. Gary Russell said it. I'll try to transcribe it later. Anyway, if the BBC does not own Bernice, the copyright situation is the same for both her and Vienna, so it should not be a surprise. Legally, for copyright reason, any spin-off that is not owned nor licensed by the BBC can officially claim to be a spin-off or to take place in the Doctor Who universe, whether it's Vienna, Bernice or K-9 the series.
