Watch BS and SP go nuts!

 There's no need for anyone to go nuts. If that's what yourself
and Agamemnon believe, that's fine. Quite a lot of fans now
believe that to be the case too.
 All I have ever done is point out what was intended by the
production team at the time. And as you are both [supposedly]
Doctor Who fans, neither of you can say I am wrong as you should
both know the story... what is accepted now is a different thing
altogether and it seems to work for a lot of people in fandom.

It fails to work period, since it contradicts the 11th Doctor's entire arc, The Five Doctors, The Three Doctors, The Two Doctors, The Deadly Assassin, The Keeper of Traken, Mawdrin Undead, The Name of the Doctor, The Day of the Doctor, The Time of the Doctor, Listen, and Twice Upon A Time.

 The difference between myself and you two is I can handle people
having a different opinion to me. Your head-canon is your own.
If it makes "Doctor Who" a nice and comfy safe-space for you
both, great.

Doctor Who ended in 2017! Everything after that year is degenerate fan fic. and therefore not canon.
