This was an April Fools joke published in the British Doctor Who Monthly,
which seems to have taken on a life of its own. The last line contains the
British date for April 1,1984 and the article contains many other ridiculous
claims.  For instance, supposedly B&W programs cannot be shown in Canada.
Also, the title is "Who'd have believed it".

The joke was similar to the earlier "The Phoenix Rises" which purported to
be about a show featuring Peter Davison and William Hartnell, using footage
from alleged early episodes of "Beyond the Sun" (or something like that; I'm
writing this from memory).
