just wondering, since there is such confusion between tv stories and video stories from other places such as dvd extras or webcasts or the mobile phone tardisodes, wouldn't it be easier to change the term from tv story to video story or something like that? it would then be less specific to cover these grey areas. is there any problem with this?

:By video stories, do you mean Reeltime and BBV's semi-licenced stuff? [[T:DAB TERM]] says that they should be (RP video) and (BBV video). I think one of the admins used those terms rather than (video) because (video) or (video story) is incredibly vague. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 15:03, March 21, 2012 (UTC) | :By video stories, do you mean Reeltime and BBV's semi-licenced stuff?

::I went with webcasts as a dab because they're essentially 'internet broadcasts'. That's how they were accessed/broadcast originally. | |||
::Be it delivered by mobile or via watching it on the BBC's site they were internet broadcasts. | |||
::CzechOut's point is though more logically worked out, they were part of the TV stories in the same way the Prequels last year were. | |||
::Imamadmad, I'm against changing the dab term, as TV story is something everyone knows and understands. As Tybort says video story is a very vague term, made even more vague by the various spin-off media that was solely released on VHS (commonly referred to as 'video'). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:05, March 21, 2012 (UTC) | |||
