ikr 😔 taehyun also left winner . yg just had to ruin black friday for us <| sep |> There are two acceptable answers 1 There is no canon 2 Only the Adventure Games are canon 3 Only televised stories are canon and if it isn ' t released as Doctor Who then it ' s less likely to be canon e . g . Miracle Day Let ' s start with 3 . There ' s some support for this the BBC forbid their television creatives from making a show which requires you to pay for content . Rose can talk about that time she went to alien prison , Eight can mention the names of people he knows , Absolom Daak can flash up on a screen , but these things can never be plot points . However , this approach to canon seems to put the TV show on a pedestal . At most , you could argue that nonTV events aren ' t canon to the TV show , but that doesn ' t stop them being canon to Doctor Who as a whole . And of course , looking at this strictly means Night of the Doctor isn ' t canon . Point # 2 is logically stronger . The Adventure Games have officially been described as canon by the BBC . Nothing else has . The BBC are the gatekeepers of canon , so the Adventure Games are canon and everything else is licensed fanfiction . That ' s obviously a ridiculous conclusion , so I support the no canon approach . That leads to some ridiculous conclusions itself , but it ' s a ridiculous show so I don ' t care .
