Renton 22008 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Series can never be used in the singular anyway, Shirley? It would be oxymoronic. "Series 1 of The Office" for example is the singular use if you are referring to the series as a whole. Caveat: I think. Aha. A singular collective word to describe a single collection in a collection of collections. My brain hurts. Regardless HF, there was clearly no need for the original apostrophe!

I wouldn't go so far as "clearly". Some of us don't tune in to Never Mind The Full Stops every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22008 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 To be more clear we should adopt this convention. Episode - single program from a series. Series - collection of episodes, usually from the same time period. Boxset - collection of series. Not entirely happy with boxset as in actuality this implies a physical box of DVDs or videos. Worse, not all boxsets contain an entire series of series, some don't even span one series. Hmmm. Maybe "meta-series" is better. Or thingy.
