 ::::::: And as N8 said, [[TCH 7]] seems like enough evidence that some BBC listings do state the correct title. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]][[User Talk:OttselSpy25|🤙☎️]] 22:50, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
+Here's what ''The Complete History'' has to say on the matter:
+: "''By 1974, BBC Enterprises was listing the serial under the title ''The Massacre of Bartholomew''. From 1975, the more commonly used title ''The Massacre'' was adopted, apparently originating in ''The Doctor Who Minibook'' published by Keith Miller of the ''Doctor Who'' Fan Club; this title was then adopted by the ''Doctor Who'' Appreciation Society in some of its guides from 1976 and used by landmark reference works such as the 1976 edition of ''The Making of Doctor Who'' and the paperback edition of ''The Doctor Who Programme Guide'' in 1981, with the title ''The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve'' only re-emerging in some quarters in the late 1980s.''"
+It seems to suggest that ''The Massacre'' (used for the novelisation and soundtrack [although the soundtrack does begin with Purves introducing it by the full name]) is the more common title.
