Ahh but they didn't, did they? They came out contemporaneously. It's literally a case of the one production team intentionally ignoring — indeed disrespecting, in the true meaning of that word — the work of the other. That's why it's significant the Master is still in the TARDIS as of The Gallifrey Chronicles. By that point, The Glorious Dead was around five years old. So BBC Books deliberately ignored DWM, and DWM couldn't have known in 2000 what BBC Books were going to do in 2005. That's why I say it's effectively impossible to rectify the two.
