:::Sorry, I thought it was a completely non-controversial move, as it is copyrighted under the name ''Doctor Who'', and is listed as such on [http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/tvm.html Shannon Sullivan's site], [http://www.drwhoguide.com/who_mov1.htm the Doctor Who Guide], and [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116118/ IMDb]. Additionally, it was released as such initially to home video (that is, in its 1996 VHS release), its soundtrack recording, its novelization, and its script release. The DVD is the '''only''' release of this story to add anything else to the title but the words ''Doctor Who''. In any case, '''no official release of this thing or any of its ancillary products has the word "TV" or "television" in it'''. Beyond all that, though, there's no other onscreen title but ''Doctor Who''. After-the-fact renamings can't take precedence over contemporary names. It's inconvenient for the BBC to call this simply ''Doctor Who'' now that the name applies most lucratively to the original and [[BBC Wales]] versions, but that '''is''' what they called it and marketed as at the time, and it remains the only name of official record.

That may be so but i see no reason for the page to be moved if there was ever another TV movie with no other name that Doctor who then by all means move this page to Doctor Who (1996) however at the present time i see no reason for change.

Revision as of 01:15, 15 July 2008
US
Anyone know where I might be able to get this film in the US? I know its never been released here, and I really want to see it. I have checked Ebay and Amazon with no luck..
Move
Has there been any discution about the move form TV Movie to Doctor Who (1996) ? Dark Lord Xander 01:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- Move reverted. This story is known as 'Doctor Who: The Movie' on the DVD, colloquially known as 'the TV movie', on the BBC's website it is quite clearly titled Doctor Who: The TV Movie. I understand CzechOut's argument (however any major moves such as this should have been placed in the talk pages before moving the page). --Tangerineduel 05:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed my thoughts exactly i know the TV movie was called Doctor Who but the dvd was called Doctor Who: The Movie as you say and everything since then that i know of has refered to it as the TV Movie perhapse the section on the name in story notes could be expanded.
