Talk:1001 Nights (audio anthology)

The flag at the top of the page suggests creating separate pages for each story, but the thing is, the stories aren't titled and the fourth episode is merely the conclusion of the framing story. What should be done here?

EDIT 10 January 2013: The Big Finish official script release names the episodes - huzzah! Episode 1 is "My Brother's Keeper," episode 2 is "The Interplanetarian," episode 3 is "Smuggling Tales," and episode 4 would appear to be simply titled "1001 Nights."

Continuity
The article had the following continuity points when I encountered it. Since this page is about the anthology as a whole, it doesn't have any continuity. I'm putting the continuity points here, in case they need to be placed on individual story pages. 01:56: Tue 13 Aug 2013


 * Nyssa states that the Doctor had a different face when she first met him on Traken in 1981 and that he was travelling with Adric. (TV: The Keeper of Traken) She also mentions that it was not until he regenerated that she began to properly travel with him. (TV: Logopolis, Castrovalva)
 * Nyssa mentions the prisons of Folly. (AUDIO: Doing Time)
 * The Doctor refers to his encounter with Harry Houdini. Both Nyssa and the Fifth Doctor met Houdini in 1920's England. Prior to their arrival in 1963, his first incarnation and his granddaughter Susan Foreman met Houdini in the United States. Houdini taught the Doctor how to perform sleight-of-hand tricks. (AUDIO: Smoke and Mirrors, PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice)
 * The Doctor uses the word "Tremas" to defeat the Interplanetarian. (TV: The Keeper of Traken)

Separate stories
I don't understand why this is broken up into separate stories, it's clearly one continuous thing. Yes, the the first three parts have distinct sections in which Nyssa tells the "sultan" a story, but they each contain elements of the framing narrative. As it stands on this page, story 1, 1001 Nights is the framing narrative + all of part 4. Story two, My Brother's Keeper, is Nyssa's story in part 1. Story three, The Interplanetarian, is Nyssa's story in part 2. Story four, Smuggling Tales, is Nyssa's story in part 3. This is nonsensical to me.

My two solutions are that the story's are either combined into one story, and the anthology page deleted, or they're broken up by parts, with the framing narrative counting as part of each part. Personally I prefer the first option, but both are far better than the current situation. Danochy ☎  07:02, February 25, 2020 (UTC)

One more thing I forgot to add was that the names and separation of each story only come from the script. On the actual download they're just called "part one", "part 2", etc. It is also not advertised as an anthology on it's page on the website. Danochy ☎  07:08, February 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * Apparently they all have different authors? Shambala108 ☎  14:06, February 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes. I'm not sure that matters, but if it does it would tip me towards separate pages (but having the framing narrative as separate from the rest of each part is still a very strange decision, in my opinion) Danochy ☎  19:43, February 25, 2020 (UTC)
