while I was out on a walk, I came up with a way to improve my audio guide...

that will also result in me completely redoing the order of things.

and I am definitely the kind of person who is going to spend the rest of the evening working on that...

the idea 

the idea is to divide the audio dramas out into every 6 months of releases.

Then, the segments will look like this:

a. Doctor Who Monthly Range releases for the (first/second) half of <year>.
b. segments for each series that had its final episode in those 6 months
c. BBV releases
d. Miscellaneous releases (like bonus releases or one-off stories)

Rather than having the Miscellaneous releases mixed in with everything else.

This also means it has a more predictable format.

the idea 

It has been much more time consuming than I thought, but definitely worth it.

It's a subtle difference, you probably can't even see it unless you're looking for it, but it makes the ordering *feel* more sensible, and the more clear year boundaries mean that it should be easier for people to keep track of where they're up to.
It also means I've only got one situation where the "next in range" link goes to a segment focused around a different range.

the idea 

(it's also not finished yet, and because it's completely breaking all the segment numbers I can't upload a WIP)

the idea 

it's done, and it is much nicer than the old system.

I did have to spend literally my entire last evening and all of today on it, though.
