•	future proof the proposed rules do not allow for future show runners deciding to play with the format like mofet did in series 9 for instance a future split series may end its 1st half with part 1 of a 2 part story and open its 2nd half with the conclusion •	the rules for spin offs like torchwood may need to be different as doctor who is about travailing true time and space resulting in new story’s having new settings and almost completely new casts where as torchwood is in a fixed location and story’s like the everything changers and day 1 being 2 part when in doctor who they would be standalone •	i have a problem with any scheme to determine multi part story’s that differs from what is listed in sources like DWM and doctor who the complete history as theas are made with input from the BBC and the production team •	and on the question of to be continued vs. the doctor will return to be continued is used to tell viewers that the cliff-hanger they have just seen will be fowled up while the doctor will return is used to indicate that there will be more episodes in the future when they can not show a trailer for the next episode
