'Rules'
editFEEL FREE TO FIX SPELLING ERRORS OR ADD MISSING DATA, BUT PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE NUMBERING SCHEME OR ORGANIZATION SCHEME. (I know those are kind of controversial.) I HAVE WORKED VERY HARD TO GET IT SET UP THIS WAY! ANYWAYS, YOU WOULDNT LIKE IT IF I CHANGED THE MAIN DOCTOR WHO LIST TO YOUR WAY. THIS IS MEANT TO BE PRINTED, AS A SORT OF CHECKLIST, SO DONT ADD COLUMNS OR IT MIGHT NOT PRINT RIGHT!

Column One and Numbering Scheme
editThe first column, Episode Number, of course, lists the consecutive episode number since the first episode. It should be noted that I count the 1996 Doctor WHO Movie as episode number 160, continuing from the last true episode in the old series (159). In continuation with that, I also number all episodes in the new series in a similar, but not identical way. I have therefore given the first 2005 episode, Rose, episode number 161. I use this same numbering scheme on nearly all episodes in the new series. However, I count the first multi-part episode, differently. Aliens of London, is given episode number 164a, and World War Three is given episode number 164b. I use this same a-b system for all multi-part episodes in the new series.
Column 2
editThe second column, Title, is of course the name given to the serial. I have listed all episode titles nearly identically to the scheme used in the Wikipedia List of Doctor Who Serials, with either no, or very little exception.
Episode Codes
editI have excluded the column for episode codes from this list because I don't find it relevant for this documents purpose.
Column's 3 through 4
editThe third column, Episodes, indicates the number of episodes that compose the overall serial with that given name. The fourth column, Length, is the length of the serial in minutes. This is done in almost all cases by multiplying the number of episodes by 25 (the number of minutes in each episode for nearly all the old series.) The exception is season 22, in which all episodes where 45 minutes in length. Almost all new series episodes are noted with a 1 in the episode column, and 45 in the length column, because, they are almost all 45 minutes. The season finales are, however appropriately denoted.
Column 5
editThe fifth column, tape status, tells whether or not I have it on VHS. If there is a 'BW', in this column, then we have the episode in black and white on tape. If there is a 'C' in this column, then we have it on VHS in color. All episodes on VHS episodes are probably recorded in SLP recording mode (which allows each tape to store between 6 and 8 hours of content,) and is certainly in 4:3 aspect ratio. An empty cell in this column means I either don't have the episode on VHS or I don't have on my records that I do.
Column 6
editThe sixth column, DVD status, tells whether or not I have it on DVD. If the cell in this column is empty, than I have not yet dubbed the episode to DVD. 'BW' and 'C' indicate the same thing as in column five only on DVD, however, I use the code 'CW' to denote episodes that I have dubbred the episode to DVD and it is in the new 16:9 aspect ratio. Only the new series is in 16:9 aspect ratio.
Separator Lines
editThe line in between each season includes the season number and the years it was released. The line in-between each doctor includes the regeneration number, the actor who played him, and the number of years/seasons he played the part of the Doctor.
