Style notes for this reference type
- See Manual 15.57, 14.261 and 14.265. See also Turabian 19.10.3.2.
- The order of the citation elements may depend on the nature of the resource and on what the focus of the citation is (i.e. you may cite the director's name first if the direction of the work is your primary focus).
- Any facts relevant to identifying the item should be included (i.e. additional writers, actors, producers). See above links for examples.
- The title of the show is italicised, and the title of the episode is given in quotation marks.
- Episodes and indexed scenes are treated like chapters. Where an episode does not have an individual title, just include the episode number.
- Reference list entries are usually listed by title (see Turabian 19.10.3.2)
- You may need to consult other resources (i.e a library catalogue or IMDb) for some citation elements.
- For recordings accessed online, if there is no date of production or broadcast provided, you should include an access date prior to the URL (Manual 14.12).
