So poll closed a day earlier than I had intended, but oh well.
So yeah, New Nuwho is the name now. By what power invested in me? None really, but at least there's a thread about it!

With the poll closed and the votes all in, I'm now waiting for nucleus to announce the result in the traditional manner...
'As the Returning Officer for the Divergent Universe, the results are as follow...'
'Who Mk3 (The Sixties Naming Convention Party) - No votes' 'Oh, there's a surprise!'
'NuWho Next Gen (The Blatantly Trekkie Option Party) - No Votes' 'Rubbish! Fraud! Beam me up Scotty!'
'Bad Wolf Who otherwise known as BWWho (The Rose Will Never Be Forgotten Party) - 3 votes' 'Bad Wooolf! Bad Wooolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!' 'Quiet please through the transdimensional gateway, thank you.'
'Disney Who - 4 votes' 'Some support there for the coalition partners. But not much.'
'Whoniverse (The BBC Name So It Must Be The Right Name Party) - 9 votes' 'A strong showing there for the official candidate, always popular.'
'New NuWho (The Riffing On A NuWho Location Party) - 11 Votes and I therefore...' 'NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW!...' 'Quiet please or we'll play the Goblin Song again. ... and I therefore declare New NuWho to be the duly elected candidate. There were no spoiled ballot papers because there were no ballot papers and anyway what kind of Ogron can't put a tick in the box of their choice without making a mess of it...'
'Well, what do we make of that result and how does it look on the Swingometer Of Rassilon? Over to you, Runcible...'
''Ahem.
So, New NuWho won. BYE!''
Sorry for stealing your thunder but I couldn't resist! I love all the paraphenalia of a good election and imagined something like the count at Dunny-on-the-Wold*, but with more aliens.
EDIT: *That famous 19thC by-election was a key moment in 'Blackadder III', for anyone who was wondering 'what the heck is he on about now?'

It's only a poll for fun, it's not set in stone.
So I'm looking forward to Disney Who Season One...

When I said "I'll see you in your next username" to Chuckles before blocking him, I didn't think he had yet another burner account made already..... Mods..no-one seriously thinks this is a new user? What? Thanks for the nice welcome

Why..thank you for asking hewhowaits ! I'm absolutely fine. If anything I'm better than I've been in quite some time. But to be honest I'd doubt you'd care about that anyway. Now of course I would welcome you to the Forum, but I can see you've been lurking here for about three weeks before my silliness prompted you to post for just the second time. I'm flattered that it did, though considering we've just had a 60th anniversary and are mere days away from the 15th Doctor's first Christmas special I'm also a tad curious as to why it was my nonsense that dragged you from the shadows. Time will tell if my cynicism about that reason is misguided or not! 😁 Ok. People seem a bit strange here.

They do indeed seem weird. Well, those on their fourth login (at least) do.

Official YT channel calls the new trailer 'SEASON 1 TEASER'. Think that closes out the debate.

The debate over the name of this one run was never up in the air unless people were ignoring the people making the show. The name of the "era" - Ncuti and the Disneyverse is surely the only one people really have grounds to debate. And even then, it's all just nice shorthand that doesn't matter.

Well, it shows they're going for Season instead of Series. I don't think that was clear before.

Well, if I ever read anything on screenrant, maybe I'd have been clearer from early November, but I don't, and I'm not convinced I'd trust the word for word accuracy of anything they "report" even if I had. Now it's definitive, from the horses mouth.

Now it's definitive, from the horses mouth. But it's nothing to do with Screenrant. They just nicked the story from SFX where it was confirmed before the 60th aired, by RTD. As it was in DWM. One of our members (with a few split personalities/usernames tried to make it into that weeks reason to RTD-bash when we discussed it before, hence Stevo's exasperation, I guess..

My point though is about the general reliability of a lot of today's reporting. For example, screenrant has just put this story live referring to the "season 14 trailer". screenrant.com/doctor-who-season-14-trailer-universe/Of course it would never have been called season 14; in old money it would have been the Series 14 trailer, so there's definitely a feeling that recently people have been treating the words as interchangeable. Now at least we "know" it's definitely Season, not Series.

But yes, I do despair that so much "news" is lifting from one source and turning it into clickbait. That's how we get so many cheap outlets who will find any storm in a teacup and churn out "articles" on it with zero actual journalism.

I must admit that for the New Series I tend to go a bit American and say 'Peter Capaldi Series 1' and so on. For the classics I can remember all the seasons and all the stories in them in order, as most of us can. But for me NuWho is much more fuzzy and I split them by Doctor.
So for me this was always going to be Season/Series/Serial/Ceres One anyway.

It’s been one story, I think this is a little premature. Plus I expect that the ratings and viewing numbers will contradict this opinion quite nicely.
