Yea I went and did some looking into the stories; and that is the only answer I could come up with. I suppose that Shada might get some kind of special treatment somewhere down the line.[[Special:Contributions/68.43.83.92|68.43.83.92]]<sup>[[User talk:68.43.83.92#top|talk to me]]</sup> 05:15, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

I have been making myself a spreadsheet list of the stories; and am noticing a difference from what the wiki here might say to what i can find on the various DVD's.

For example the DVD for the 5 doctors has printed on it story number 130 but the wiki here notes it as 129. So I must ask; is their something I am missing? or has Shada been somehow excluded in the DVD list of stories? Kirokusclone talk to me 07:23, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

You can check our List of Doctor Who television stories, which has numbering beside each serial.
From which region is the DVD? And where is the story number listed? --Tangerineduel / talk 13:47, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Its Region 1 and that's actually the link you sent me. The error arises between Destiny of the Daleks and Black Orchid Kirokusclone talk to me 22:31, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

In region 1 The Horns of Nimon is listed as 108, and the following story, The Leisure Hive, is 110. This is apparently to leave room for numbering Shada as 109 when/if it comes out on DVD. Shambala108 talk to me 23:36, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Oh wow, I never noticed that before. Our numbering scheme is wrong. Shada definitely is 109. Numbering is a production thing, and from a production standpoint, Shada exists. It has a production code which remains honored to this day, so therefore it is a "real" story in the order. That's why our "made next/made prev" navigation honors Shada.
Our numbering scheme should definitely honor Shada as 109. It's completely wrong that Shada isn't even on our list of Doctor Who television stories.
