So here's a practical, live question for you. The Seeds of Death. There's a character called the Grand Marshall. End titles have it Grand Marshall. Subtitles on most recent DVD have it Grand Marshall. Novelisation has it as Grand Marshal. Legacy (novel), an Ice Warrior novel, also uses Grand Marshal for the title. Mission to Magnus uses Grand Marshal, but of course it's not a novelisation, really, in that it came out well before the audio.

So what wins when we come to speak of Grand Marshal(l) Skaldak in Cold War or the Grand Marshal(l) in the audio ''Mission to Magnus? Do we go by the things that are closest to the original source (subtitles, credits), or by things that were published thirty years on?
