Since RTD wants to throw an even bigger wrench into DW season/series naming conventions, I have decided on a perfect solution that encompasses everything and addresses all questions
Each Doctor's seasons are referred to relative to their Doctor as such: Doctor.Season
For example, 1.1 refers to Hartnell's first season, 9.1 to Eccleston's first season, 13.1 to Whittaker's
Stories with unique names within those seasons are referred to in airing order: Doctor.Season.Story
Ex: 1.1.1 is the entirety of The Unearthly Child, 9.1.1 is Rose, 10.3.8 and 10.3.9 refer to Silence In The Library and Forest Of The Dead respectively
Episodes of specific stories which do NOT have unique names are referred to by order within that story: Doctor.Season.Story.Episode
Ex: 1.1.1.1 is The Unearthly Child part 1, 6.2.1.3 is The Mysterious Planet part 3, 13.2.1.2 is Spyfall part 2
Specials are referred to by two possible notations. Option one: Doctor.S(for special).Number of special by airing order. Option two: Doctor.Season.S.Number of special by airing order
Ex: 13.S.1 would be Resolution, 13.2.S.1 would be Revolution
These rules should fix all nomenclature issues regarding Doctor Who. Please begin applying them at your earliest convenience. Any questions (there should be none) can be directed to the collective office of every showrunner. Thank you.
#i generally accept this system#but what about 8's movie?#is it 8.1.1 b/c he's before NuWho?#or is it 8.S.1 b/c he's a bridge doctor?#or 8.M.1 b/c it's a movie?#and what about the 50th?#is it 11.7.??? (I'm not looking up the episode number)#or is it War.S.1#since War never got his own episode?#this suggests that there are cross-categorizations that are *both* correct#depending on what timey-wimey business you're conducting#so for 10 the 50th is 10.S.5#and 11 it's 11.7.??? (still not looking it up. it's probably 8 or 9)#and War it's War.S.1#y'know what?#that fits.#and you could specify audio with ''A''#e.g. ''Storm Warning'' is A8.1#and Virgin New Adventures novels is ''VNA''#...y'know what?#this might actually work#doctor who#reblog
