Doctor Who: The Animated Series

There were several one-off animated "Doctor Who" series in the 2000s, mostly webcasts. Until recently they were all listed as separate titles on IMDb, but I've just noticed that someone has combined them into a single listing: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30332874/

Perhaps the BBC has recently started retrospectively marketing them as a single series with this new umbrella title, I don't know. But in terms of production and original broadcast (which is usually what guides IMDb listings), they are all separate productions with no ties to each other. Shouldn't they be restored to individual listings?

Hi @tom_wake -

While I know the WHOniverse is very popular, unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with it. 

To clarify,  these are standalone animated film titles (i.e. "Doctor Who: Dreamland", "Doctor Who: Death Comes to Time", "Doctor Who: Daleks!", etc.), is that correct?

Or are these mini-series titles?  For example I saw a listing for Doctor Who: Death Comes to Time already on the site as a mini-series.

Hi @Michelle 

Yes, that's right - they were all standalone mini-series titles, all produced separately with no connection to each other.

The only exception to this is "The Infinite Quest" (listed here as "season 5"), which was serialised as a series of animated segments across each episode in the first season of "Totally Doctor Who" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795296) before being edited together into a compilation film (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1064739/)

Hi @tom_wake -

These titles should be listed on the site to reflect how they were originally released, so if these were originally aired separate from one another, then they should be separate series title listings, as opposed to being listed as seasons under a webisode series.

I filed a ticket (#P118018158) for the investigation and clean-up.  Once this has been completed I will update you here.
