As such they don't add anything to the real Dr Who stories and because of this are acknowledged by fans but kind of exist in their own parallel universe.
Apparently Steven Moffat wanted to use the posters for the films in the fiftieth. He's even written some script to acknowledge them. Believed to be Ian who sold his story to a film studio, therefore explaining that it's the Doctor's adventures but not quite.. However Studiocanal wanted far too much money from the BBC for the use of them.

Now that's madness.
