Can we get a quote on that? Because what we get on DWM 465 is:

"I'm glad we didn't end up being proper Doctor Who," says Cornell, "but I think we gave it a really good shot."

To give the quote some context: it comes from an article reviewing Scream of the Shalka. More specifically, this quote is from the section "DVD Extras" (the DVD of the webcast was released one month after DWM 465).

The Web of Caves according to DWM 285 is intended to be set within the DWU, the numbering of Gatiss' incarnation was never stated either off or on screen. It was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. What do people think about the validity of this story? After giving it the old rewatch, it appears to be more serious the Gatiss' other scripts such as Robot of Sherwood. Can we please not go off-topic? The Web of Caves is completly unrelated to Scream of the Shalka. If we are to discuss The Web of Caves, it should get a thread for itself, but not this one.
