Discuss Doctor Who

TVDB and IMDB are saying it's Doctor Who (2023). The first two specials aired in 2023. BBC is listed the 2005 series as going from 2005-2022.

Seems to me like it should be Doctor Who (2023)

The displayed year is derived from the date of the first regular episode of the first season. This first episode has just been broadcasted in May 2024. Consequently, the series should be listed as 2024.

No, the series is listed as 2023 from BBC and this is a BBC production. They count the series start year as being when the specials aired. BBC is the primary network so they are the one source of truth for this title. IMDB, TVDB, and TVMaze all list 2023 as the correct year for this title. Only themoviedb currently lists this as Doctor Who 2024. It is the outlier and is the only one that is currently wrong, causing issues with anyone using it as source for metadata.

As indicated, as per our rules, the displayed year is derived from the date of the first regular episode of the first season. This first episode has just been broadcasted in May 2024. Consequently, the series should be listed as 2024.
