-I oppose the idea that the full name is somehow more 'accurate'. ((Probably not relevant to discussion here but original production documents state the name of the serial as "The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve", although this is an anachronism, as the actual massacre took place on St Bartholomew's Day, so the longer title feels incorrect anyway.))

+From Wikipedia: "original production documents state the name of the serial as "The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve", although this is an anachronism, as the actual massacre took place on St Bartholomew's Day, so the longer title feels incorrect anyway." That being said, here are some of my thoughts on the matter:
 DWM's way of titling is pure hard cope, and stubbornness on their part. They also started being awkward about series numbering a while back (anyone remember when a front cover said "Series 2 with Matt and Karen") and now tend to say awkward things like "the 1986 series" on occasion. They feel like an outlier. I'd say most people know these stories as "An Unearthly Child", "The Daleks", "The Edge of Destruction" and "The Massacre".
