It actually kinda is. In the original, the Doctor and Romana leave and Shada doesn't happen. In the new version, the Doctor and Romana are returned to where they were taken from. Shada happens. (I know, TV Shada isn't valid, but the book is)

Arguably, our discussions about deleted scenes make the answer that the original is the valid form. But if we decide this is so, then that would also answer worries about the third Doctor TVC comics which were edited to feature the Fourth Doctor -- only the original would be valid.
