Screen Genius formats TV shows and their episodes like so: Films: Italics - Example: The Big Lebowski Television Shows: Italics - Example: Breaking Bad Episodes of Television Shows: "Quotation marks" - Example: "Hardhome" tl;dr - these rules also apply to Doctor Who. So why does this page exist then? There's some grey area about what counts as an "episode". From 1963-1989, most televised stories of Doctor Who were shown over 4-6 short episodes. The episodes often had titles of their own, but they are almost always referred to by the name of the serial. Wikipedia cla**es the serials as longer works, and so formats 1963-89 serials in italics (The Caves Of Androzani). It then puts post-2005 episodes in quotation marks ("Rose"). To avoid confusion, Genius formats all stories as episodes - that is, in quotation marks. There are a few exceptions, which will be detailed below. 1963-89 serial: "An Unearthly Child" 1996 movie: Doctor Who: The Movie 2005-present episode: "Blink" Multi-part story: "The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang" A series-long story: The Trial Of A Time Lord Episode is part of a multi-part story or series-long story: "Heaven Sent" Episode also released as a film: "The Day of the Doctor" Non-televised stories Unfilmed scripts: "The Giants" Minisode: "The Night Of The Doctor" Minisode series: Pond Life Big Finish audio plays: Jubilee Novels: Shada Short stories: "Nothing O'Clock" Short story collections: Summer Falls Comic strips and Graphic Novels: The Cruel Sea
