Also, sure, Najawin, its title was "Doctor Who" but the debate is basically that it's a clumsy name when referring to the movie or when you're re/searching it. "Doctor Who (TV Story)" just isn't all that clear or intuitive IMO. — [[User:FractalDoctor|Fractal Doctor]] [[User talk:FractalDoctor|<span title="Send a space-time telegraph">@</span>]] 22:39, 25 August 2023 (UTC) | Also, sure, Najawin, its title was "Doctor Who" but the debate is basically that it's a clumsy name when referring to the movie or when you're re/searching it.

Sidenote: Also wanted to note, obscure but in the 50th Anniversary Collection album, the music from the movie is listed as "Doctor Who: The Television Movie Suite", again presumably to help searchability and because it needs some kind of label to explain what it is beyond "Doctor Who Suite". — [[User:FractalDoctor|Fractal Doctor]] [[User talk:FractalDoctor|<span title="Send a space-time telegraph">@</span>]] 22:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
:From what I can gather, in 2008, a user said "The TV Movie" is a descriptive term rather than an official title, and only the DVD had that on the cover (well, "The Movie" to be precise). Since then, the reprinted novelisation has also put "The TV Movie" on its cover. And fair enough that's still only 2 official products with that name, but it could be argued that it proves even the BBC feel it's appropriate to 'label' what it is. (They could've just created the reprint with the Doctor Who logo and nothing more, but they opted to put a label/name/title on it, presumably for marketing purposes and searchability.) — [[User:FractalDoctor|Fractal Doctor]] [[User talk:FractalDoctor|<span title="Send a space-time telegraph">@</span>]] 22:47, 25 August 2023 (UTC) | :From what I can gather, in 2008, a user said "The TV Movie" is a descriptive term rather than an official title, and only the DVD had that on the cover (well, "The Movie" to be precise).

::I agree with Fractal here. Nobody actually calls that movie ''Doctor Who''. Also, off-topic answer to Aquanafrahudy about Hartnell episodes: I would very much be against splitting those episodes. Not a good idea. You simply can’t hold 60s stories up to today’s standards and ways of doing things.
