Snap! Looks like we hit on one issue simultaneously. As for the episode/part thing, this derives from people being precise. I don't think we've ever ruled on whether we should attempt harmonisation between the two systems, because the show itself used "episode" in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and switched to "Part x" sometime in the Pertwee era. So it really is "Episode two of The Krotons and "'Part one of Castrovalva."

For the moment, let's assume that the editors who placed this information on the pages did so very carefully. I think it's a fair assumption that they did so accurately.

But I think we should convert all numbers to lower case words. So you should use the format in your 4 January example and place the word part or episode at the beginning of the sentence, capitalise it, and then add the word form of the number: "Part one", "Episode six", "Part three", etc.

As implied before, when naming any Hartnell episode prior to The Savages, episode one, you should only use the episode name. So just "Bell of Doom", not "Bell of Doom" (part 4).
