According to what I can tell, all stories in Short Trips and Side Steps which are not set within the DWU are not meant to be invalid, but rather are set in alternate dimensions. It's in the descripton and even in the title -- "side steps" is how we knew the universes in Inferno worked. What this means, by extension, is that the book is retconning Dr. Who and the Daleks, Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., Dimensions in Time and Search Out Space as not being a non-legitimate take alone, but rather taking place in an alternate dimension (another popular fan theory). While the last two I still doubt in terms of if they are 'stories' at all (a huge part of them being valid) this might have a huge impact on how we decide to see the two Dalek films. Or maybe it wont. Any thoughts?
