Just because the BBC say it's a prequel doesn't make it so. They've never used that word properly, anyway, and obviously don't know what it means. Why should we trust them ever using it?

No, they do not know what "prequel" really means. Prequel means to them "a narrative short video set and released prior to an episode." While that may not be factually correct, they apply the same "prequel" tag to SS, HS, indicating that it's meant to be narrative. They're also selling it in the exact same way that they sold the Bells prequel, and even gave it a similar name.

As far as your last post, it's definitely implied to be in their heads (the BBC lists the setting as "a museum" - not getting that). They are talking to themselves, and, as they remember things, the props from those memories appear behind them. The "character not talking" is not actually there; they're just an image from the other's memories, just like the props in the background.
