Here's basically what my proposal entails - note that the status quo only changes with regard to Doctor Who, the other programmes are listed for the sake of completeness.


 * Primarily produced as serials, and numbered by story:
 * 20th century Doctor Who, from #1 An Unearthly Child to #157 Doctor Who (1996). (Note that Shada is counted as #109 and The Trial of a Time Lord is counted as #144.)
 * The Sarah Jane Adventures, from #1 Invasion of the Bane to #27 The Man Who Never Was. (Mini-episodes are not included in the count.)
 * Primarily produced as individual episodes, and numbered by episode:
 * 21st century Doctor Who, from #1 Rose to #130 The Husbands of River Song. (Numbering restarts at #1. Note that The End of Time is two episodes and is counted as #59 and #60. Mini-episodes and animated serials are not included in the count.)
 * Torchwood, from #1 Everything Changes to #41 The Blood Line. (Note that Children of Earth is five episodes and is counted as #27 to #31.)
 * K9, from #1 Regeneration to #26 The Eclipse of the Korven.
 * Numbered entirely as one work:
 * K9 and Company
 * The animated serial The Infinite Quest
 * The animated serial Dreamland
 * In addition to the above, in the event mini-episodes are numbered, Space/Time and Pond Life are each counted as if they were released in a single part.
