That puts Lost in Time pretty much at its broadcast date, which means that the  theory doesn't work for SJA. But that would seem impossible, since Sarah Jane is personally caught up in the dynamics of, since she met Rose in what absolutely had to be the   episode of School Reunion.

The Lost in Time newspaper makes a total nonsense of trying to figure out not just SJA dates, but cross-series dates as a whole. We're much better off as a wiki just saying "approximately broadcast date" in the infobox, and then explaining any nuancing details, like this newspaper, in the body of the text.
