We’ve talked about this a lot, and because we don’t yet have a way of listing multiple “specials” in any kind of, as it were, “special” way, we’re going to move the special episodes that fall between seasons 4 and 5 from season 4 (where they are now) and put them, at least for now, into the “unknown” season until we can find a more suitable home for them (we’re working on some ideas).

Although the BBC production codes link them to Season 4, we don’t list special episodes this way and it’s worth noting that the BBC website also lists them in their own “specials” section rather than as part of season 4.

Any questions or comments to the Contributors Help thread, please.

We’ve changed the order in which we display the cast for recently completed titles.

We noticed that sometimes we were getting some weird cast lists for forthcoming titles if we used the “credit order” number but didn’t have order information for all the cast. So, for instance, we might know that Actress X was 5th in the list, and Actor Y was 27th but have no idea where anyone else should be sorted. If we sorted them using the order number we’d have Actress X first, Actor Y second and then the rest of the cast in STARMeter order. This, as we say, sometimes looked a little odd.

So, for recently completed titles, where less than 30% of the listed credited cast have order numbers, the Cast Filmography will be ordered by STARMeter.

An example of a title now displaying the cast order following this change is Angels & Demons (2009).

As more information comes in about the credit order we’ll eventually reach the 30% point and we’ll switch back to “cast in credit order”.
