The oft-changing title of this publication has created confusion amongst fans of ''Doctor Who'', who are generally uninterested in the broader contents of the magazine. Some have mistakenly believed that ''TV Action'' and ''Countdown'' were two separate magazines. In fact, the change was too gradual to produce a bright dividing line between what was ''Countdown'' and what was ''TV Action''. The plurality of issues were actually published under ''both'' names. Moreover, the numbering system was preserved throughout the transformation. | The oft-changing title of this publication has created confusion amongst fans of ''Doctor Who'', who are generally uninterested in the broader contents of the magazine.

Although the title on the cover changed every few months, it was stylistically similar throughout the first hundred issues. While the word ''Countdown'' appeared on the cover, the title was always placed in a red banner across the top sixth of the page. After the title became just ''TV Action'', this practice was abandoned. On the final thirty-two issues, ''TV Action'' became merely a logo at the top of a full page of art.. | Although the title on the cover changed every few months, it was stylistically similar throughout the first hundred issues.
