Here's some relevant Gatiss quotes from DWM 285:

"[The Web of Caves] is the actual spoof of an episode itself, and this is the one that gave us the most trouble... It's very hard to decide what to spoof about Doctor Who..." "The sad thing about it is that we've recorded the spoof adventure now..." Back in in DWM 279, Mark confessed to a desire to play the Doctor for real, in a proper new series of Doctor Who. Has this comedy outing fulfilled that need?

"Good God, no!" he laughs. "If anything, it's sharpened it!"

But we shouldn't need the creator to repeatedly, unequivocally call it a spoof to know for ourselves that this is, indeed, a spoof. It is so, so obviously a spoof, and will not become a valid source under rule 4 of Tardis:Valid sources.
