Vienna definitely IS DWU

Whoever deemed the Vienna stories to be set outside the DWU missed the point quite spectacularly.

Basically, there are two types of DWU big Finish audios....

The first types of stories are stories like the Doctor Who Main Range, the Fourth Doctor Adventures etc. where the stories use licensed BBC characters like the Doctor.

The second types of stories are stories like the Bernice Summerfield audios, the Charlotte Pollard audios etc. Here the characters are owned by people other than the BBC. But they are still clearly and unambiguously DWU characters. It's like the 1960's Dalek comics, or the K-9 television series, or the Auton VHS trilogy. All definitely DWU stories, but DWU stories where the characters are owned by people other than the BBC, and thus don't require an official BBC licence the way that stories featuring the Doctor require an official BBC licence. Vienna is undoubtedly a DWU character(as per The Shadow Heart), but now she's having various adventures without the Doctor, but obviously set in the same universe. 137.158.190.94talk to me 09:02, December 11, 2015 (UTC)

Precisely, but try getting those in charge here to listen. -- TimPendragon 16:18, December 13, 2015 (UTC)
