You know, deep down in your soul, that they are not. You've experienced enough Doctor Who to know that this is a narrative trick.

Let's just wait to see how it all plays out.

No, but we know this:
 * 1) The people in the Tribe of Gum have the same name as those in the Tribe from AUC
 * 2) They share the exact same apperances of the Tribe from AUC
 * 3) They cite the events of AUC

And that's enough that I want to add it to the page.

And I know for a fact that DWM is far too clever to pull the "none of it was real" trick for their anniversary comic again.
