It just occurred to me, if there was a Doctor Who special story which we would usually consider INVALID due to general stupidity or disregard for continuity and the Doctor present within the TV story/comic/novel/audio/skit/webcast/game/short story specifically stated that the story was INVALID (breaking the fourth wall) would it be canon? As it would have been stated as VALID though would it's INVALIDicity overrule the fact it's established Validity? Or would it's Valdity be enough to make it Valid? Just wanted to know in case something like this occurred. For example Dimensions in Time, if it said in a through away gag that it was VALID, would it be and would this apply for any BBC INVALID stories?
