* It may have been filmed as four distinctive tales, but the story of the trial is so overarching that I would call it a single one. [[Season 16]] doesn't even mention the Key much in some of its tales - [[The Androids of Tara (TV story)]] for example. --[[User:Silent Hunter UK|Silent Hunter UK]] [[User talk:Silent Hunter UK|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:38, January 2, 2014 (UTC) | * It may have been filmed as four distinctive tales, but the story of the trial is so overarching that I would call it a single one.

:* In ''Androids'', the the desired segment of the key is found very early but is confiscated. One of the major themes of the story how the Doctor and Romana will escape without leaving the segment behind.

:* Every single sub-story in Season 16 involves retrieval of a segment and the difficulties retrieving them. In some cases character decisions are specifically guided by the goal of obtaining the segment. By contrast, [[The Trial of a Time Lord]] is in fact less overarching, with the Trial simply tacked-on... In the first 3 stories, you could simply delete the court-room scenes, and each story would be a self-contained, standalone adventure. So there are clearly distinct stories within the season; whereas the aforementioned ''Torchwood'' seasons have absolutely no distinct sub-stories.
