I'm no specialist on this subject, so this comment may be unnecessary, but it may be of some use: trying out the webcast links just now (both from here and from the DWC page), I found the following:

• Episodes 1, 2 and 3 don't seem to be there at all.
• Episodes 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13 are the full-length programmes.
• Episodes 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are the shorter Cut-down programmes.

Hmm. It seems that BBC have removed the links for 1, 2 and 3, and substituted the shorter ones for the rest. The links were to whatever they had on-line, so not sure what can be done to "fix" it. --khaosworks 03:47, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are now available again, from here, and all appear to be the full-length versions. However, the direct links to those files from this article don't appear to work properly. Loganberry (Talk) 29 June 2005 01:25 (UTC)

[edit] Doctor Who Confidential - Episode 211

The Doctor Who Confidential Desktop at the Official BBC Site lists the title for episode 11 as 'Scream', however the episode shows the title of 'The Fright Stuff' on the broadcasted program. 'The Fright Stuff' is also the episode title for the Doctor Who Confidential Article.

Which reference do we use for the programme's title?

[edit] Torchwood Declassified

Is it worth making a reference to the Torchwood Declassifieds? A partner series of sorts.

I'm editing at the moment, I'll make a reference Shealer 09:06, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing episode from list - Episode 42½

I've noticed a missing episode in the episode list. It's from the 2007 Children In Need special Dr Who episode "Time Crash". This episode of Confidential is mentioned in the wikipedia article for Time Crash Snickkers (talk) 07:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think this was actually billed as Doctor Who Confidential. I think it was made by the same team, but it was only billed online as "Behind the scenes" - I think it could get a mention in the "Other Shows in Confidential Format" section, though (Etron81 (talk) 16:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC))

I've just re-watched the episode, and the intro/title sequence definitely shows the Doctor Who Confidential brand/logo. Is there a reason why it would be omitted from this list? I mean, are there Confidential fansites that maintain episode lists which number the episodes 1-51 which we're adopting here, or is the 1-51 convention only for wikipedia? I notice that this episode 42½ I'm talking about is not on the bbc Confidential website - that's a fair argument, except that there are other Confidential episodes which are also missing from the BBC website, but which have been included and numbered in this wikipedia article.Snickkers (talk) 07:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, so it does - that's what happens when one relies on memory! - I would have no objection to it's addition then Etron81 (talk) 18:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Backstage at Christmas: numbered?

Should this DVD-only episode be numbered along with the aired episodes? Or should it, like the Time Crash one not have one as it wasn't aired on TV? Etron81 (talk) 17:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
