I don't think this is a "one size fits all" approach. I think for DW serials we definitely do Name (home media), because these are the pages that have the most "stuff". (And yes, to answer TD, definitely a separate page, not a subpage. Technically that's just easier.)

For BBC Wales stuff, we put the information on the series page, and then make the link in the infobox to Series X (franchise).

The only thing that bugs me a bit is the actual dab term. I mean, (home media) is likely the best we're gonna get, but I don't like the imprecision of that. After all, novelisations are "home media", too.

I'm thinking it might be wiser to have two dabs — (home video) and (home audio) — because this might make citation easier, especially because there is a difference audio of a televised story and the novelisation audiobook. "Home audio" would mean the soundtrack, as distinct from (audio story).

For instance, the most complex case is I guess Stones of Blood. Or State of Decay.

You'd end up with:
 * The Stones of Blood (TV story)
 * Doctor Who and the Stones of Blood (novelisation)
 * The Stones of Blood (audio story), the new David Fisher-written audiobook
 * The Stones of Blood (home video)
 * The Stones of Blood (home audio) (okay, this one doesn't exist yet. But it could, now that they're releasing soundtracks from stories that fully exist in the archives.  This would be just a stripping of the audio track of the TV story.)
