The Internet Movie Database is a bogus source for this information. The only source that will be accepted is an official announcement by the BBC. I don't mind sounding a bit "authoritative" on this because non-BBC sources for airdates have had a zero per cent rate of accuracy since 2005. Any joker can add a date to IMDb.

* Dark Horizons isn't a good source for this either. I removed a reference to its claim the new series will start on March 6. If you want an example of a site getting it wrong, there you go. If it was airing on March 6 the BBC would have announced it by now, and you'd also have Tenth Doctor merchandise being released after the start of the new series, which is unlikely.

I haven't seen DWM 418 yet (it won't be available in Canada for another month) but according to this article Moffat has made the announcement that "Series 5" (or, as he called it in DWM 417, Series Fnarg) is going to be officially known as Season 31. Now I'd rather wait to see what happens when the BBC officially announces its schedule whether they actually do this or not. If they do, then we need to come up with a consensus as to what to call not only this article, but retroactively the 2005-2008 seasons. If 2010 is called Season 31 officially, do we rename the other articles Seasons 27-30? Or do we stick with 1-4 despite the discontinuity in numbering? Or do we keep the original and revival series separate (even if Moffat is clearly integrating them by using Season 31) and stick with Series 5? It's just numbering, but this is actually an emotional issue for some people and I don't really want to see us start a "Move edit war" over this. I'd rather we come to an agreement before articles are moved, or remain where they are. My personal view is if Series 5 is "Season 31" officially, we should retroactively rename the other seasons articles for the sake of simplicity. However I'm not one of those who treats this as an emotional issue so I'm quite fine to leave things status quo. (Just as long as the BBC doesn't follow through with the "Series 1" idea, I'm happy.)
