No, of course statements by Moffat about portions of the DWU not under his control (nay, from before his involvement) would have no significance. But statements by the publishers, before, during or afterwards do have a bearing. We don't necessarily exclude Shalka because of anything said by RTD; rather, we look to its creators, those who hold the license, and, well, the BBC. I see Shalka as the start of something which was cancelled. I'm sure there are quotes from relevant individuals that I could bring up to better prove my point, but it's been a while since I've reviewed this.
