It was made to be aired once and never released, no one was payed for it, etc. It's also why we don't allow images from it, but we do allow images from the broadcasts previewing it just before airing. It's quite bizarre.

Don't be shocked if an admin shuts this down very quickly. I think this is one of the debates that people have had on the wiki the most. Someone tries to re-open it every few years.

A big question for me is that it's impossible to really explain what actually happens in the story. It plays like it's had four writers working independently and not communicating at all. I wouldn't know how to describe it in an in-universe fashion.

I'm agreeing very much with the OP and yourself.

It was broadcast on the BBC, so however way we look at it, it was originally licensed. In the real world dreams rarely have stability. All that need be said in in universe articles is that the Seventh Doctor once had a dream where his companions were trapped and shifting into one and other, I could find myself easily explaining it.
