The BBC are calling this series 5, the media are calling it series 5 and everyone on youtube calls it series 5!
Yet im sure i read a while ago that Moffatt was going to start again, and call it 'season 1'. well, if true, it clearly isnt working! it was a dumb idea anyway. can anyone confirm this?

But yeah. I think it's stupid to take it back to series 1. I mean, classic who took it series by series...they didn't just reset it because they have a different doctor or director or whatever.
It's series 5 of the new series
What he said.
Moffat is calling it series 31. It's the guys making/selling the merchandise who want to call it series 1.
QFT !
This season is going to be called Series XP. It'll be stable and does everything we want.
Next year will be Series Vista. That won't last very long. A lot of people won't like it. It'll be too complicated and every episode starts by asking you "Are you sure you want to watch this episode?"
After that in 2012 will be Series 7. It'll be a little like Series Vista but you'll get into it quicker.
and it was my idea!
I think Stephen Moffats comments seemed to imply that renumbering the seasons back in 2005 was silly since the show wasn't really a reboot, it was a storyline continuation of the previous series so it wasn't simply season 1 it was Doctor Who Season 27, but the 9th Doctor's 1st(well, only) Series.
Now.
My Brain is starting to hurt.
So, lets Just call it Season 5.
I'm not bothered about what the production team call it, as long as the DVD boxset is branded 'Season/Series 5' then I'm satisfied. I don't want a second 'Season 1' in my collection.
and with any luck the last!
Now why did you have to go and say that? I'm looking forward to seeing Matt's interpetion of the Doctor and seeing what he brings to the table.
Will it be different to Tennant's? Hopefully yes. Not because I disliked Doctor 10, he's up there with the best, but because each Doctor is individual and unique from the ones before and the ones in the future.
You wouldn't know that Doctor 1 and Doctor 10 was the same man, but they are.
God, we've barely got a look in of his Doctor yet and already people can't wait to get rid of him. Personally I think he's going to be a great Doctor if the trailers are anything to go by, and I have enough faith in the DW team (particularly Moffat) to 'know' that he wouldn't have been chosen loosely.
David Tennant was fantastic in the role but he had his fair share, he left at the right time. Let's stop clinging on to the past and appreciate what the present/future has to offer.
He looks decent, so why should he only last one series and cause DW to end 7 years earlier. (Probs 7 Years, unless we get another Tom Baker)
Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear! There's always one, isn't there?
