I don't see why Doctor Who and the Fangs of Time could not be the same thing. Do you have evidence which states that it was never intended to be set in the DWU? It seems to me like just another "the Doctor visits the 'real world'" valid story. It's really the opposite to me. A story where the Doctor is on 'our Earth' interacting with fans of Doctor Who would need proof that it was meant to be an alternate universe -- not the other way 'round. In that sense, this is no different from Davros popping up at the Proms or the Fourth Doctor visiting schools!

It's just hard to see how this story was intended to be set inside the "DWU."
