Yep, as do The Sontaran Strategem, The Poison Sky and The Doctor's Daughter. Both cases still fail rule 2, though. Different directors = never a two-parter, regardless of anything else, just like not a story = not a valid source, even if it's fully licensed. All of rules 1-3 must be respected. I'n thinking "rule 4" maybe shouldn't be numbered as such, because it's not a general requirement.
