I was thinking of creating of a category, but couldn't think of any appropriate names. The category would include:
- The Pilot Episode
- Shada (TV story)
- A Girl's Best Friend
- A Fix with Sontarans
- Dimensions in Time
- Search Out Space
- Doctor Who (1996)
- The Curse of Fatal Death
- Children in Need Special
- Attack of the Graske
- The Infinite Quest
- Time Crash
- Music of the Spheres
- From Raxacoricofallapatorius With Love
- Dreamland (TV story)
- A Ghost Story for Christmas
- Tonight's the Night
- 2009 BBC Christmas Idents
- Space (TV story)
- Time (TV story)
- National Television Awards Sketch 2011
Just wondering if I could get any suggestions for a name or if anyone has any objections and the that sort of thing. I'm A Hydroponic Tomato! Bigredrabbit (talk to me) 03:15, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
- I object. I don't think the category is needed.
- I can't really see a need for it as it seems to be a very wide and vague set of stories.
- Those that are listed seem to be in the 'not part of regular broadcast/mini-episodes' sort of theme. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:27, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, the reason, Bigredrabbit, you can't think of a category name is because these things aren't alike. There's no category here. You've got animated stuff (Dreamland) alongside parodic material (Tonight's the Night), alongside an interactive game (Attack of the Graske), alongside non-narrative stuff (Christmas idents), alongside short episodes that are in continuity with the main series (Time Crash), alongside completely normal episodes of series (A Girl's Best Friend, the TVM). There's no single name that would unambiguously contain all those things.
- Basically, this is "Bigredrabbit's list of odd TV bits related to Doctor Who, which may or may not be canonical, which may or may not be a part of a regular series of Doctor Who, which may or may not be a narrative, which may or may not be for use in a classroom setting, which may or may not have been the pilot for a series, which may or may not have been a holiday special, which may or may not have been a charity special, which may or may not have debuted on the Red Button, which ..." — oh, you get the point.
