The points at which these shows are differentiated are inherently arbitrary. It seems a little odd to hold that the BBC 1963-89 show, Fox Television Networks and BBC Wales are all the same show, but not Torchwood when it was run out of BBC Wales by Russell Davies while he was running Doctor Who and SJA... well, there is a certain arbitrariness. No matter where you put them. It would be equally rational to divide shows by incarnations of the Doctor, or by the Producer or even the Script Editor, who was in charge of maintaining continuity in the days when Terry Dicks noted that when he was Script editor, continuity was what he could remember and when the next guy took over, it was what the new guy could remember. | |||
Nonetheless, it is the position of this WIKI that the BBC WHO, the TV Movie and the BBC Wales WHO are all the same show, while Torchwood and SJA are not, despite the many crossovers. Different codes would encourage different viewpoints and make things even more bloody.[[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] <sup>[[User talk:Boblipton|talk to me]]</sup> 03:38, April 22, 2012 (UTC) | |||
