Both are inarguably in the same world - the world of Lauren Anderson - but only one uses concepts from the DWU and therefore only one is covered on this wiki. I think this is totally different tho. If I understand this thread correctly (and I apologize if I don't) then there was a Short Trips story about a bunch of aliens and now there's a different audio series about those aliens and we're trying to decide if that makes the audio valid.

Cyberon isn't valid because the Cyberons are meant to be Cybermen. It doesn't even ever say "The metal suit guys are Cyberons." "Cyberon" is the name of the medicine in the story that slowly turns you into an unnamed-grey-suit-dude. Cybermen were not liscensed for this film, as the BBC had standards even back then.

If there had been a Short Trips story that introduced the Cyberon medicine and then the film had only featured the medicine and not the "almost Cybermen", then it would likely be valid.
