To clarify some of the misinformation here: I am not suggesting we go by name. I suggest that for BBC Wales Doctor Who, we avoid defining "story" altogether and instead count each episode separately.

The main difference between my proposal and Tangerineduel/Shambala108's proposal is that I count The End of Time as two separate episodes, whereas Tangerineduel/Shambala108 combine them into one story.

In my view, counting only TEOT as a two-parter gives the view that nothing else is a two-parter. If we count by episode, we should acknowledge that TEOT consists of two episodes. And as for Planet of the Dead, we already don't have it as a pure #200 so we should list that nod as "according to RTD's numbering" or similar.
