Is the BBC/Fox tv movie in continuity?
SA) Yes. LA) Yes. Some take the approach that since it was an American movie, it didn’t count. However, the BBC include the 8th Doctor on their website and it was co-produced by the BBC. They have issued a DVD in the same line as the other stories. There were however some breaks with continuity in this episode. He was referred to as being half human, which isn’t a direct contradiction as they’ve never before established he was entirely Gallifreyan. It wasn’t however well received and has since been lampooned in Parting of the Ways when Rose considers the Daleks half human and is told that is Blasphemy. The Eye of Harmony being in the TARDIS did directly contradict continuity as The Eye of Harmony is supposed to be on Gallifrey (see The Deadly Assassin in the original series). There have been attempts to explain this in various forums and novels, but not really content for the FAQ.
