I believe that the Series itself right now should not be called anything until confirmation and believe it should be named "2010 Series". The reasons I think this is because everyone is discussing that it should NOT be called series 1, 31 etc but yet it stands as series 5 when Steven Moffat has made it quite clear it shall not be called that. I'm not getting into the whole what it shall be called but for right now and to make it quite clear it should be called "2010 Series" this way it is not any designated title. It's that chosen title because of when it's broadcast. -- [[User:Michael Downey|Michael Downey]] 12:24, February 23, 2010 (UTC) | I believe that the Series itself right now should not be called anything until confirmation and believe it should be named "2010 Series".

* I disagree. For one thing no one in any official channels is using this term. BBC Video is calling it Series 5. And to use another name will cause discontinuity for anyone following the wiki's articles sequentially - Series 1, 2, 3, 4, 2009 Specials (which may end up as Series 4 Specials) ... and 2010 Series? Doesn't work. Whether one agrees with it or not, BBC Video's titling is considered definitive (see: An Unearthly Child, The Edge of Destruction, Children in Need Special). They've made the call to refer to the 2009 Specials as the Series 4 Specials (ref: the deleted scenes feature on the DVD/Blu-Ray) but that hasn't been picked up yet and the box set just says "Complete Specials" so there is some debate. But now they've announced a Series 5 Volume 1 episodes DVD/BR release, so unless there's compelling reason to change it we should leave it be. Moffat's wishes are irrelevant. In DWM 417 he suggested Series Fnarg, too. It's what the BBC does that matters. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 13:43, March 3, 2010 (UTC) | |||
