Frequently asked questions

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.

I'd add it myself, but I don't have time at the moment - maybe I'll time later if no-one gets to it first Etron81 (talk) 21:41, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

S07E01 The Asylum of the Daleks will be aired on this year's MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival, on Saturday the 25th of August. http://www.mgeitf.co.uk/home/MGEITF/programme/2012-programme.aspx http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/may/09/charlie-brooker-steven-moffat-edinburgh?INTCMP=SRCH

S07E06 will be the christmas special, thus airing on the 25th of December. http://blogtorwho.blogspot.se/2012/01/series-one-on-watch.html http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_7_%28Doctor_Who%29 http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a382427/steven-moffat-on-doctor-who-sherlock-and-his-bafta-special-award.html http://www.sfx.co.uk/2012/06/25/doctor-who-series-7-news-accumulator/

"Asylum of the Daleks" will be SHOWN at the Festival, not broadcast - this list has the original broadcast dates.

While it's most likely that the Christmas Special will be on Dec 25th as usual, but "Christmas" can refer to the entire Christmas Season (so it coud air on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Christmas Eve, etc.) - See previous discussions regarding previous Christmas Specials Etron81 (talk) 13:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the spot! However the text at the top of the series 7 section needs to be trimmed signicantly now we have a Series 7 article, to match the intro the the other series. Doctor Who (series 7) has the information on the stars, not sure how significant or reliable provisonal article titles are. These don't get placed in the table.

Are there references for air dates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.136.61 (talk) 00:08, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 17 July 2012

I'd like to add a summary table of the entire show("Series overview") like here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe_(TV_series)#U.S._Nielsen_ratings_and_series_renewal It contains the airdates of all the premieres and finales of all the seasons and series of the show, the ratings of each premiere and finale and the avarage viewers in millions for each season/series. I've taken all the data about the viewership from the different articles about the seasons/series, so I assume they are reliable, since they have been approved. I think this would be useful for people who want that kind of information summarized more conveniently.
