User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-6032121-20200517150418/@comment-27323707-20200607224346 @Najawin thank you, I had misread the section - too many mentions of "prequel" and "sequel".

So, Emily Cook approached Russell T Davies for some additional content and he suggested the "Rose prequel". He was separately approached by Chris Chibnall to provide additional material for his own series (which began with Things She Thought While Falling). Chibnall was given the prequel, and RTD wrote a sequel for the Doctor Who: Lockdown! event.

This does help to establish that the two series are completely separate, as Chibnall approached RTD without knowledge of Cook's event, albeit adjacent.
