Torchwood series 4

There's no on-screen episode titles. BBC uses generic Episode 1, 2... However, the series 4 was done in co-production with US Starz network. And Starz have a meaningful title for each episode. So, the question is – since we use BBC One as primary network, should the episode names be replaced with generic ones, or left the Starz' names, since they're also official?

Also, I've noticed that we have Starz' airdates for series 4 (whose are 6 days earlier than BBC's). I will change them to BBC dates, but IMO editor's wiki should be created, covering the dates and names issues.

Why do we change them to BBC dates, it is co-produced and aired first on Starz? .)

So, just change the season network to Starz?

"However, if a show's owner is ambiguous - because it's co-produced by multiple entities - or if the ownership changes throughout its lifetime, the world premiere dates must be used."

So yes, if the season 4 episodes consistently premiere on Starz, the network should be changed to Starz. Don't forget to update the network property of season 4 as well as the show's network property! :)

Yes, I remember, that there are two places where the network is stored. Anyway it needs to be done for all seasons, since each season was premiered on the different channel.
