Technically they are irrelevant because they could not be counted regardless (and I don't think they share directors with their subsequent episodes either, but I may be wrong). I was saying we should take a look at them, though, to see what kind of precedent Doctor Who has for early introductions. It's really about future-proofing; if we're basing a rule off a percentage, it should also reflect other similar cases in the past, or it may not reflect cases in the future.
