The intent of the production team is a key factor in deciding whether something is Doctor-lite. If we don't have a concrete definition, then it becomes a matter of opinion. How much time does the Doctor have to appear to make it a Doctor-lite? Five minutes? Ten minutes? What if it's nine-and-a-half minutes? What if he's in the background of a scene, does that count?
