If you want a reason — and I really can't believe I have to given a reason to deny the admission of a series based upon action figures that uses none of the original vocal talent — it's because its backstory goes into areas that aren't licensed. So therefore the whole thing is based upon a non-licensed foundation.

Please note that it's not just a couple of episodes that aren't licensed but the first five series, as revealed by the BTS video here:  http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/DWOA/Behind-Doctor-Who-Online-Adventures-Series-One.aspx#bdwoa-1

Additionally, the series will cause tons of issues in the already complicated world of Cybermen, as you have Cybus Cybermen interacting with old series Doctors. It's a nightmare not worthy of exploring.

Oh and there's something they're not telling us about this license they've got. Why in the world would they have the right to use new series Doctors when Big Finish don't? It doesn't add up. Something tells me a "creative media license" doesn't mean quite the same thing as the license they've got at Big Finish or DWM.

Discussion is now closing. We'll of course keep an eye on the development of this idea, and it may be possible to revisit this discussion in a year or three, if we get more clarity about the license, and more narrative distance from the first four series.
