I think it could be. It's just possible that a hallucinogenic after-effect of the weird smoke that killed the sontarans made them think jimmy saville came along, and all that. why else would the doctor, a very responsible adult, let a small boy have a huge alien weapon?
that's my interpretation. i'm welcome to any others.

My interpretation is that it was a short scene that Sir James of Savile fixed for the boy Jenkins. Anyway, it can't be canon - BBC disc jockeys don't have the power to open TARDIS doors.

Maybe Jimmy Saville is a Time Lord who has been watching the Doctor's exploits via the Matrix much as in "Trial of a Time Lord" and then decided to honour young Gareth with that most noble of Gallifreyan honours - the Jim'll Fix It badge.

That makes sense, actually. Professor Chronotis was a retired Time Lord living alone in seclusion in Cambridge. Perhaps Jimmy Savile is also an retired Time Lord, living alone in his penthouse in Leeds.

Would a Timelord really wear shell suits all the time, though. I mean really?

Season 23B~!
Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

Tegan could have returned to Air Stewarding after leaving the Doctor and was brought to the TARDIS again by some sort of time scoop like affair.

Obviously it's the Master, who has disguised himself as Jimmy Saville to disarm the Doctor.
Plus, as someone once said, of the two multi-Doctor, returning-companion featuring Sontaran stories in 1985, "In A Fix" is clearly the least convoluted.

Surely the question is not "is it canon?" as much as should it be fired from one?

I would quite liked to have been G.J when it was first broadcast but the undeserved stick he gets makes me glad I'm not.
I'd quite like to be in a Doctor Who skit now, but that'll never happen.

Coincidences, honest.
This may shed some light on the mystery of canonicity: http://www.drwhoguide.com/whotrip9.htm#16

I think the adventure with the Sixth Doctor and Tegan in the Burger Van is a far swifter and hassle-free explanation of her second meeting with the Doctor than, for example, the recent Big Finish audio detailing the same.

no idea, but whoever he is and wherever he is, he's not me and he's not here.

I always thought he seemed a bit ungrateful in In a Fix...
He doesn't say thank you or anything when Colin gives him the Sontaran gun. I bet he really wanted a Dalek or the Tardis or something.
