Before we get too far into the season, I wanted to ask about a trend that seems to be developing. We're putting the broadcast dates for the US, UK and Australia on Miracle Day episodes. We don't elsewhere. Any particular reason for it? Is this a kind of British "grudge" against Americans for getting the world premiere? I don't see why it's insufficient in the infobox to say that the broadcast date for The New World was 8th July 2011, and leave it at that. After all, the BBC willingly' gave away global premiere rights to Starz.

And before you ask, no, I don't understand why Doctor Who (1996) has double US/UK dates in its infobox, when we all know that the global premiere was actually in Canada. That line of the infobox should be for global premiere dates only, in my view. Other dates can be given under story notes.

If multiple dates get added, I demand that Canada's airdates get added too! (The day after the initial US Starz airing, just as an FYI...) :) -- sulfur 11:43, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, single dates and chuck the rest into the story notes. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:01, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
