The original play is out not because of the alternative Fourth Doctor, but because it is a stage play and the narrative was subject to change performance to performance. None of that is true about the adaptation.

The Doctor played by Nicholas Briggs regenerates into the Doctor played by Trevor Martin. There is nothing to suggest a numbering, and nothing that puts it explicitly outside the DWU, any more than The Doctor (Good Companions) or The Doctor (The Cabinet of Light).
