: Here's mine. Unfortunately I think you have to bite the
: bullet and bunch Utopia with The Sound of Drums and Last
: of the Time Lords. It was announced (in Totally Doctor Who
: and DWM) as the first new series three-part story. Which
: is odd, as Utopia was part of a different production
: block, it's more of a prequel, and the last half is pretty
: amazing!

I still think Utopia is separate: as Adam said it was made in a different block and director; plus the Radio Times preview article back in March listed it as a separate story in the preview episode guide; which makes me think it was a later after-thought (just prior to broadcast?) to make it "part one". If you are going to lump Utopia with eps 12/13 based solely on the cliffhanger, then Keeper of Traken would have to become an eight episode story!?

As I said in an earlier posting, I await with baited breath to see which of the stories next year the BBC claims (if they even bother) is the 200th.
