This wikia doesn't deal with canon debates. The book is official, and features several incarnations of the Doctor. The manner by which the stories are written is irrelevant, to a degree, as with anything sci-fi related, doesn't have to be straightforward as a best-selling novel. There's nothing in the book itself that firmly contradicts the franchise in any kind of way, so the book shouldn't be treated any different to any other release by BBC Books. In 2005, Doctor Who books published by BBC Books changed from Adult Fiction genre to childrens books, in the same way that some you would classify as sci-fi books, and others as fantasy. I see no reason to disregard this book. In many ways it is similar to AUDIO: Bang-Bang-A-Boom! - a comedy-themed Doctor Who story which still manages to tell a tale in its own right.
