Was his use of Iris Wildthyme in Old Flames (short story) a clever trick to get the many fans of his incredibly obscure Phoenix Court series to buy Doctor Who? Was there a nefarious plot to get books off shelves by making the main characters of Exchange the companions of Iris Wildthyme in Enter Wildthyme? I think Magrs just happens to make quite a few characters that he really likes and wants to reuse. Baker's End features the exact same Vince Cosmos that encountered Iris Wildthyme. Whether that makes the story in the DWU or not in the DWU is not for me to say.

P.S. All that stuff about "The War of the Worlds" you guys talked about near the beginning of this thread comes from Enter Wildthyme (novel), where the 1890s Martian invasion is shown to be in an alternate timeline.
