series 10

Ok, I have always wondered this and I have to ask, why do you UKers refer to a season as a series? In America, each year of series is a season, and all of the seasons put together are called a series. Just do you guys use to refer to the whole thing, if you are using series for year?

I don’t know the answer, as I’m from the US.

For many shows I use the terms interchangeably. For Who, they called the old show Seasons and the new one Series. So being consistent/accurate removes ambiguity as to whether you’re talking about Pertwee’s first year or Smith’s third, for example.
