Truncation would work for the main range, but.... other ranges tend just to be number order and only distinguished by the prefix.

BFP - is almost constant and could possibly be dropped

DW -is only for those ranges featuring the Doctor (main monthly, Comp Chron, 8DA's), but not eg "Dalek Empire" or "I, Davros" or "Gallifrey"

CD - is well....

But there is CC for the Comp Chrons, MG for the 8DA's. etc; followed by a 1, 2 or 3 digit number, perhaps with a decimal point.

those released with DWM have DWM, other Bonus releases seem to conform to the main range either in short or long form; or their own special code (Maltese Penguin (SS), or Death to the Daleks (given a DE code as part of Dalek Empire))....

The basic format trying to use production codes to fit with the TV codes used and as a basic (though flawed) time line for the Doctor is great, but its a nightmare!

Longform? but would that mean adding a "BBCTV" code to the tv eps? and "BBCWEB" or "BBCDVDXTRA" for consistency?
