Each time Doctor Who has been celebrated by the BBC Proms (2008, 2010, 2013) it has featured in-character appearances from various actors. I'm not talking about Music of the Spheres which was pre-recorded and was therefore a separate entity. I'm talking about the appearances by Davros, the Eleventh Doctor, Clara Oswald, Vastra and Strax. I understand that the Proms are different from the Doctor Who stage plays in that they were broadcast on television. However, I'm having a hard time seeing how these characters' appearances can be said to take place in the DWU. If I remember correctly, Vastra mentions The Robots of Death and Attack of the Cybermen by name. This alone places the Proms squarely outside the DWU. Therefore, I think the Non-DWU tag should be applied to those articles and the reference to the Proms should be removed from the relevant character appearances pages. The same goes for The Science of Doctor Who.
