:: The Hartnell serials is something I've been meaning to review, really. Certainly things seem to be turning at [[Talk:The Massacre (TV story)]] (I'll likely close in favour of ''that'' rename in the coming days unless there's significant new arguments against, now I've been reminded of it). But on the flipside, I didn't mean for [[Forum:Relaxing T:HONOUR]] to have any particular bearing on ''story'' titles, no. And really all the ambiguity about the TVM relies on the extent to which ''Doctor Who'' was really a ''story title'' in any meaningful sense. Sure, it was the legal title of the work, but that doesn't mean it's artistically the same thing, necessarily. [[Talk:Scorpio's Sting (comic story)]] may make for interesting comparison; isn't the fact that it's legally called just ''Doctor Who'' rather more like ''Scorpio's Sting'' having originally been registered as ''Devil's End 1a'' than anything else? I don't believe our preference for ''original titles'' would extend as far as insisting on [[Devil's End 1a (comic story)|Devil's End 1a]].

::: Tbh I'd be completely in favour of splitting the Hartnell serials to bring them more in line with how we cover other multipart stories. (And whatever we rename the Massacre, it'll still spoil it for whoever wants to watch it, because the entire episode is predicated on the premise that you don't know that there's going to be a massacre.) Sorry, off topic.
