Q: Why are early series called seasons? In British English we have TV series.
A: Most sites, such as BBC's Classic Episode Guide and A Brief History, as well as most Doctor Who reference books, use the term "season" for the classic "series". There's a longer discussion here. This has links to the previous discussions.

@OlifanofmrTennant and Alex 21: I think the current prose is good enough, or will be with a few minor tweaks. When this is done, we should nom it for FL- so I wanted to as you both if you think so too, and if you would like to co-nom it, as Alex is the largest contributor, and Oli is the third largest, and has also been adding refs recently.

The body prose is fine but the lead isn’t. It’s a lot of explaining the specific details (I.e the numbering system) and not really an overview of the list itself. Unless you want to do it I’ll have something written soon enough Questions?fourOlifanofmrtennant (she/her)16:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mentioned the same issue with the lead when we were discussing the feasibility of this potential topic. I remember it being a critique in a failed similar featured list candidate of mine (in terms of having the list split across decades). As we've both said, it definitely needs to focus more on Doctor Who post-2004. TheDoctorWho(talk)18:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
