Amendment to number of seasons
editThe current page list the number of seasons as
26 (1963–1989)
14 (2005–present)
however, the most reason season as well as the 60th anniversary specials are part of a new era of the show as can be seen on official BBC sources with Gatwa's first season being series 1 of this new era. So this section of the page should be altered too the following.
No. of seasons 26 (1963–1989)
No. of series 13 (2005–2022)
No. of series 1 (2023 - present) 92.233.93.65 (talk) 14:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done There is no way to add a second "No. of series" row, as it is organized by the infobox template. The current status of this new "era" is currently being discussed at Talk:Doctor Who series 14. -- Alex_21 TALK 23:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Seasons or Series
editI had always thought of doctor whonas having seasons, but then the episode list in Wikipedia has series. Is doctor who made up into seasons or series? Wikipedia can't seem to be consistent with this. 101.119.84.124 (talk) 14:39, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Oldest living cast members table
editIs it a good idea to add an oldest living cast members table to the page or on a seperate page ? Spectritus (talk) 14:33, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Apart from trivia (see WP:TRIVIA), why is it any important? DonQuixote (talk) 14:51, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know. I just thought it could be interesting. Spectritus (talk) 15:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
International
editAdd Antarctic to countries/continents broadcast.
American Forces Antarctic Network
The American Forces Antarctic Network (AFAN) at McMurdo Station began television broadcasts on November 9, 1973.
"It's most likely that the series was marketed and distributed to AFRTS via Lionheart, who had the distribution rights throughout the US and its territories during the mid-1980s, and therefore any "sales" to AFRTS could have been included under all other sales recorded as being to the "United States". "
Tom Baker Doctor Who "The package of 22 "movies" aired during 1986 only" https://broadwcast.org/index.php/Armed_Forces_Network#Doctor_Who_on_the_AFRTS_Networks
It's plausible that AFAN included the series in its programming lineup during its operational years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.185.77.31 (talk) 00:51, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- @104.185.77.31 Interesting. I don't know. Let's wait for someone else. Spectritus (talk) 10:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Certainly interesting, but I'm afraid we'd need something a little more concrete than "most likely" or "plausible", and a more reliable reference to go alongside it. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
