We can't go by there being TBC as episodes which are obivously not a two-parter have had a TBC and episodes which are two-parters have not. TGWD and TWWL are not a two-parter, they are officially designated as standalones as seen on the official BBC website. FTR is also a standalone. HS and HB are two-parter. FTR cannot be part of a three-parter as it has a different director, a different writer and a different producer. TGWD and TWWL can't be a two-parter, they have different writers and there is little continuation. The problem is, there is nothing preventing the BBC from changing their minds down the road regarding FTR (and conversely, Utopia) – we need a system that can't retroactively change the status of an episode once its series run is complete.
