Talk:Prime Suspect

The Final Act

I don't intend to start an edit war over something so minor; however, Prime Suspect 7 should be listed as such in this article. The following is the evidence:

• Here is a third-party reference (TV.com) to "Prime Suspect 7".
• Here is the official PBS marketing of the series, clearly naming it "Prime Suspect 7" in both text and artwork;
• Here is the artwork for the Acorn Media DVD release of the series, with the 'ringed 7', identical to the ringed series number of the release of each previous series.
• Here is the artwork for the ITV DVD release, artwork from the company who produced the series, stating the name to be "Prime Suspect 7";
• 7 comes after 6 - nobody disputes this (I hope!) - so the logic is clear.

Naturally, all the series are sometimes referred to simply as "Prime Suspect", that being the generic title. However, Wikipedia relies on the evidence of references, and there is no shortage of references (from both third parties and the TV companies responsible for production, and for UK and US broadcast) to "Prime Suspect 7".

Per "naming convention" guidelines we go with it seen onscreen as that is what the makers of the story intended. The artwork is done by marketing departments and all of your exmples came months or years after the original airing of the programme. We have both stated our case, but at the moment I don't know how many other editors have this article on their watchlist so you may want to ask for further input from the television project and I will be happy to go with whatever consensus comes out of that.

Agreed. I can see the DVD marketers adding the seven just so that buyers know where this series fits into the overall continuum. --Drmargi (talk) 21:26, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

47

According to https://titantv.com/ there is a Prime Suspect: Tenison, Season 47 episode 30. This page doesn't come anywhere close to that, and I don't see any other pages that do. Where does that come from in the series? Gah4 (talk) 03:45, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

When I go to that sight I cannot find the item you mention Gah4. That is probably because the website adapts itself to the location of the reader so I am getting Denver info. I suspect (primely-heehee) that you are reading a listing for a showing on the PBS anthology series Masterpiece (maybe listed as Masterpiece: Mystery! in some areas) in which case the numbers are referring to the 47th season of Masterpiece and the 30th episode of that season. It is also referring to the prequel series Prime Suspect 1973 which was renamed Prime Suspect: Tennison here in the US. The numbers only relate to the US show and do not indicate which of the 6 episodes of the UK series the station is showing - come to think of it I think that Masterpiece aired two episodes together. The difference is a one hour versus a two hour runtime for each episode. 04:24, 12 August 2018 (UTC)MarnetteD|Talk

Oops didn't scroll down far enough the US airings were 90 minutes as noted here Prime_Suspect_1973#Broadcast. MarnetteD|Talk 04:43, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

here is the KCTS description of it. Otherwise, it was on Seattle's channel 9. Yes it is Masterpiece, which probably explains the numbers, but it is supposed to be June 2017, which doesn't help. Gah4 (talk) 07:09, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. If that titan tv's listings are anything like ComCast's June 17, 2017 was the first time they broadcast it. Subsequent airings will still use the numbers that applied to the first showing. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 13:46, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Number of SEASONS - not series.

The show is a series, each year is a season. Beadlesaz (talk) 00:50, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

This is not the USA. British English (or just English) uses series, not season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.62.94.65 (talk) 16:40, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
