We list the episodes in the order of their original broadcast.

Unfortunately, the official schedule is not archived for November 2003.

But, we can see on the episode guide from the Fandom:

• episode broadcasted on June 28 is "XLII"
• episode broadcasted on August 16, titled "Birth of Evil" is a double episode, which was originally planned for season 3 but as only been broadcasted during the course of season 4
• episode broadcasted on August 23 titled "Scotsman Saves Jack" is also a double episode, which was produced under the names "XLV" and "XLVI"
• episode broadcasted on November 5 is "XLIII"
• episode broadcasted on November 12 is "XLIV"
• episode broadcasted on November 19 is "XLVII"

Consequently, I had to undo your changes.

I understand the want to keep the episodes in the actual aired order as per tmdb bible guidelines but for this show its made a right mess of the episodes. The titles don't make sense anymore due to what has been done in recent months. Some have names, some have roman numerals, some have both and the ordering is just wrong for anyone who would actually watch the show. Its all very inconsistent and looks unprofessional.

Could I appeal to the admins and even travis to consider a special dispensation for this show and to go back to the running order as per the fandom page considering the archive does not exist anymore. We want tmdb to be world class, the list for this show is not IMO. Rules are rules, I get that but there can be occasions we need to review just blindly following them. I know its rare to deviate from the absolute aired order but its been done before so I appear for it to be considered here.

Will respect whatever is finally decided but felt I needed to ask for this order to be appealed. Thanks, a tmdb fan and supporter!

The intended order is already available here.
