Forum:Story Numbering
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)
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.68.43.83.92talk to me 05:15, July 14, 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.
