Exactly. He's speaking generally about the range of other product they sell, because he knows that TLATE is going to be a great time to expose new listeners to Big Finish. It does not trump him speaking specifically and solely about Vienna, upon that product's launch:


 * "Um, I know some people refer to it as a Doctor Who spin-off. I do not see it as a Doctor Who spin-off. It's its own thing. It's not set in the Doctor Who world at all."

That's the truth about authorial intent for Vienna. It is not trumped by a little advertising blurb served up with what is likely their most popular release of all time, clearly there to gin up interest in their wider body of work.

The earlier statement comes from a place of sober reflection where he is talking directly to an audience of knowledgeable Doctor Who fans, in which he is admitting the honest truth: there is no connection between Vienna (the series) and Doctor Who.

This statement is just him saying rattling off a list in a sorta scattershot way. I mean, if I were speaking of Faction Paradox and encapsulating it in a sentence or less, I'd call it a "spin-off of Doctor Who", too. But Faction Paradox ain't on this wiki.
