@Scrooge as funny as it may be I still do not think it is a parody. There is no clear timeline as to when this novelisation would have been written, perhaps it was after World Enough and Time or, quite possibly, Moffatt got the line from Harness' original pitch and asked his permission to use it in a future episode.
