:::Sorry, I thought it was a completely non-controversial move, as it is copyrighted under the name ''Doctor Who'', and is listed as such on [http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/tvm.html Shannon Sullivan's site], [http://www.drwhoguide.com/who_mov1.htm the Doctor Who Guide], and [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116118/ IMDb]. Additionally, it was released as such initially to home video (that is, in its 1996 VHS release), its soundtrack recording, its novelization, and its script release. The DVD is the '''only''' release of this story to add anything else to the title but the words ''Doctor Who''. In any case, '''no official release of this thing or any of its ancillary products has the word "TV" or "television" in it'''. Beyond all that, though, there's no other onscreen title but ''Doctor Who''. After-the-fact renamings can't take precedence over contemporary names. It's inconvenient for the BBC to call this simply ''Doctor Who'' now that the name applies most lucratively to the original and [[BBC Wales]] versions, but that '''is''' what they called it and marketed as at the time, and it remains the only name of official record.
