Please don't tell me what to do thanks.


What an OTT and unpleasant response.

I very rarely remember the episode titles, let alone the acronyms! I always think of them as 'the one with the gas mask/Agatha Christie/Pompeii/Shakespeare/that ridiculous Peter Key blobby thing/the double decker bus. I'd say the only ones that I'd immediately think of by their title are maybe Blink and Dalek, maybe also Midnight. It's odd, it's not as if I haven't watched the episodes a million times.
Thinking about it, ditto. Some episode names stick in the mind, others are all about the story.

Don't worry, mate... I got it, even if no-one else did!
The post made no mention of any character names from the show therefore it was irrelevant to most and too much like hard work to decipher for almost all the rest.

[quote=Webslark;39958747]No no no no!!!! Not SUPPOSED to be elitist. (maybe just a happy coincidence) Just that as the current stories are so often referred to, it is more common to abbreviate them.

Who are you calling common?

I'm pretty okay when it comes to the abbriviations of DW - but that's a great list. For some reason, I'm loving the fact that you've alphabatized it.

As for alphabetizing, it seemed logical (captain ) to list the abbreviations as they would appear so it was easier to find the full title.
Too compulsive maybe?
