What I meant by "I understand and agree with all of that" is that I get all that about clarity of policy etc., but I disagree with the way that you're applying that in this case. I agree with the policy — I just disagree with saying definitively that the makers call it not set in the DWU. You and I must be reading it differently, because all those quotes mean to me is that it's set within the DWU, but isn't centred around the Doctor or the main themes of Who. This is done purely to widen the audience, and doesn't place the story outside of the Doctor's universe.

The two quotations from BF that are provided are intentionally vague, and can be enterpreted either way, therefore there's "no suggestion by the people behind it that it's not set in the DWU," since that's just your interpretation of their words. And, from reading through this thread, you seem to be the only one participating in this discussion that reads the quotes that way.
