Theory:Doctor Who audio discontinuity and plot holes/The Wax Princess

I know Big Finish isn't allowed to directly refer to anything that happens in the new series but I find it odd that they would release a story that flat out contradicts it. In this case, it's the events of A Good Man Goes to War. Specifically, the fact that Vastra killed and ate Jack the Ripper in 1888. I kept waiting for the villain in this story to turn out to be someone other than the Ripper but that didn't happen. There was a suggestion at the end that he was somehow made of wax but that was quickly forgotten. (Just as an aside, I don't think the walking wax figure in this story was ever explained). They didn't even acknowledge the contradiction in the behind the scenes interviews. I find it especially baffling since it was written by Justin Richards who also wrote Devil in the Smoke. So, any theories? And I'm not interested in hearing the usual excuses involving the Time War and the universe being rebooted. Slughorn42 ☎  02:41, April 7, 2014 (UTC)
