Revision as of 15:05, 4 October 2009
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
In the cast lists for various TV stories, I have noticed that the characters have the names of the articles they are under as their names. Although it may be secretly written in the Manual of Style and I just haven't picked it up, I believe that this is against the whole purpose of a Cast list. From what I believe that you may not believe, the Cast lists are intended to be what the credits displayed at theend of the TV story. In the credits, David Tennant is credited as The Doctor, yet in quite a lot of the Cast lists, it calls him Tenth Doctor, unlike in the credits. Of course this whole ordeal maybe be stupid and pointless because there probably is some reason for this, but if there isn't and the Manual of Style doesn't say so, I think we should stick to what the credits say.
