I still don't see why we have to abandon two-parters. They've been clearly established for the last 11 years of new Doctor Who. We don't have to have the same numbering as DWM, or match up with RTD's conception of episode 200, but I think it's a bit mad to just pretend multi-part stories don't exist in the new series.

Aside from yourself, advocating for forgoing multi-part stories I believe, and Shambala, my suggestions have not met any objections. Obviously it's significant that they have met with objections, but it certainly shouldn't be disregarded completely just because some people in the current discussion disagree with it.

Incidentally—what's the rationale against having a clearly set out rule, aside from it having three parts? Is that about the gist of the argument?
