Individual episode coverage[[edit source]]
I'll start by saying that Doctor Doctor is probably right to be covered here, no objections from me. What I'm not sold on is the level of coverage that Saturday Mash-Up is apparently set to get.
The Doctor Doctor page's episode list is a neat table where the corresponding SMU episode is also included, which is a good idea. But, wait, the SMU titles are deadlinks? Now hold on a minute… are these really needed? Surely nothing else in each episode is relevant to us except for the sketches? WaltK ☎ 18:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
