Forum:Audio play, audio drama, audio story

Big Finish generally refer to what they do (Doctor Who etc) wise as 'audio dramas', hence Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Dramas. Yet we've got the categories called Category:Audio plays, and then we have stories disambigged as Telos (audio drama) and Zagreus (audio story).

I suggest we change the categories of 'audio plays' over to 'audio dramas' a more accurate description of what they are collectively. --Tangerineduel 08:26, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed, it should be changed to Audio Dramas if we want a more accurate, better description of the products Mini-Mitch 14:58, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Does the BBC also call their stuff "audio dramas"? (I don't think there are any other major publishers of Doctor Who audio thingies, are there?) --Falcotron 00:11, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * The BBC's early stuff was for radio and is variously called 'Radio dramas', but this Press release from the BBC Worldwide Press Office is titled "Tom Baker returns as the Fourth Doctor in new audio dramas!" (which is for the Hornets' Nest series). --Tangerineduel 16:11, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Though I will of course help with the bot to quickly make whatever change consensus suggests, I'm not particularly bothered one way or the other. They are audio plays.  There's no difference between the two.  I suppose where there's a slight bone of contention is that people have been putting Companion Chronicles and BBC Audio stuff into the "audio play" cats, and that's not really accurate.  These are audiobooks or enhanced audio books.  It might be simpler to just say "audios" and forget the play/drama/book distinction altogether.  21:10, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
