Of course not.

Still very good though.

Some of them have been novelised by both the BBC and Virgin with the Doctor added to the storyline, so they could be canon in the novelisation world.

Nothing to do with 'Doctor Who', but have the BBC NOT LEARNED ANYTHING?

Re: Jimmy Savile

"The scandal also poses problems for BBC4, which each week screens archived episodes of TOTP. Bosses will bin hundreds of hours of the show featuring Savile."

Now BBC drops Jimmy Savile's Top Of The Pops: Archive episodes are binned by the Corporation | Mail Online

And will they destroy all episodes of Reggie Perrin also? I wouldn't put it past them! (Not that I believe the stuff about Leonard Rossiter btw).

Its just a headline.

Nowhere does it say the episodes are being destroyed. Dropped from transmission yes.

Its the Mail for chrissakes.

On the plus side, its a story written by Neil Gaiman and the Daleks recently had their best story for a while so i'm thinking it will be better than Closing Time.

Let's hope so Dem. The last couple of Cyber stories have been pretty naff. I think The Next Doctor was the last time they had an actual decent story written for them. I must admit, I must be one of the few who doesn't rave about Gaiman's The Doctor's Wife, but I'm intrigued to see what he does with the Cyber lot.
