The current rule-of-thumb is that a novelisation is valid unless it contradicts the original TV story, whereas a script is not valid at all. I tried once to use audio scripts to correct spelling of names, and CzechOut basically laughed me out of the room. In short, his position is that scripts are not the finished product. The director can arbitrarily change things in the script. Hence, TV episode counts, while scripts should be taken with a grain of daily.
