I've not been crazy about a lot of the episodes with the showrunner who ended
his Who tenure with this episode, but I think a lot of the nostalgia
stunt-casting for this particular item was supposed to be connected to the
centenary of the BBC.
The stunt-casting continues with the next Who episodes, airing in 2023, which
is the 60th anniversary of the show. At that point we are supposed to return
to regularly scheduled programming, as it were.
As for the continuity? They've been struggling with a big part of those
challenges since the end of Matt Smith's run, and did some serious retroactive
continuity during Whittaker's tenure. As one or two of the other Doctors would
say - timey-wimey stuff. The handwaving with this latest development starts
with the wardrobe.

So… they just don’t bother with scripts anymore? I guess the formula is just
to do some nostalgic stunt-casting and ignore pesky details like story,
character, or even a mild sense of continuity? --
