Are Doctor Who Audio Books considered canon?

The new audio book featuring the eleventh doctor called "The Runaway Train" came out and was wondering whether it's considered canon or not.Are Doctor Who Audio Books considered canon?
Yes they are, and so are the novels, they're official cos they all go through the BBC. As they are "BBC Audio Books" and "BBC Books"Are Doctor Who Audio Books considered canon?
Heh. I love The Runaway Train.



Anyway, yes, they are. Some people will say no, but Russel T Davies said yes when he was in charge of the show, and Steven Moffat hasn't said otherwise, to my knowledge. If it's from the BBC, it's legit.



I think there's some controversy about the Big Finish audios, but most people see it as canon. Unless it absolutely, 100% contradicts the show, it's canon, in my mind. You have to remember that this is a show that often contradicts itself, and we're always making excuses for the writers.



Enjoy Runaway Train without fear, my friend! For badass Amy Pond is always welcome.Are Doctor Who Audio Books considered canon?
No. 100% no they are not.

Not unless they are mentioned in the series.... and none of them are to my knowledge.

The audio books and novels are just a fun way to enjoy Doctor Who when the show isnt on. But the show itself doesnt treat them as canon, nor do most of the fans.
