Who says they don't. 
Because I'm anal like that, I just counted up all the episodes like they are measured on wikipedia and (including stuff like the tv movie and christmas specials, but not shorts like time crash) A Christmas Carol is actually the 777th episode.
E: So the 7th ep of series 6 is actually 777+7

Nope. Tv movie + CI + RB + VotD + ND + PotD + WoM + EoTx2 + CC = 10 (9 if you only count EoT once)
EDIT: Well, wikipedia itself claims 770 episodes aired so far now that I check. Apparently there were 6 unaired episodes I counted ("Shada", a 4th Doctor story), and maybe I miscounted 1. vov

they really should, just once I would like to watch a multi Doctor episode, and not wake up reailsing it had been a dream, ive done that like 3 times now.
I would love a multi-doctor episode. The only one I've seen was Time Crash and that was 10 minutes long. I don't know the older pre-eccleston doctors as well as others, but just having two doctors on the same screen would be cool.
The Moff actually wrote (2 seconds after his original tweet):
"Before the internet melts, only counting proper transmitted episodes, not scenes, or sketches. Which I WOULD count if they got me to 777."
The Moff knows his audience.

excellent
I'm curious what the production number was for "The Christmas Carol". I'm guessing it must have been 6x00 or something like that. I know Russell from his scripts considered all the specials in 2009 (I was about to say last year lol) were a continuation of series four.
Does this mean it features the Doctor shooting craps?
All the Xmas specials should be episode 14 from the previous season, hence The Christmas Carol should be 5x14 I would think. I know The End of Time part 2 was considered 4x18
It gets better. I've sent that in as a change three times, along with another. Freema is credited as Martha Smith-Jones. I changed it to Martha Jones-Smith (since that's what she is, and was credited as in the episode). They were all fixed for a little bit, then someone came along and undid it ... Three times I changed it. Now, I say "fuck it" ... Somebody else can do it if they want, I'm tired of it.
Ah, well then... so much for that idea. I appreciate your dilligence in trying to keep IMDB accurate, I use it all the time.
According to Doctor Who: The Inside Story, the production code for the Davies Christmas specials always went with the subsequent season, and an "X" for the number. For example:
- 2.X "The Christmas Invasion"
- 3.X "The Runaway Bride"
- 4.X "Voyage of the Damned"
But to not step on series 5's toes, the production codes for "The Next Doctor" onwards continued off the end of series 4: 4.14, 4.15, &c. I'd imagine that since "A Christmas Carol" was filmed with Series 6, its production code was 6.X. Unless you believe Moffat's claim that it's really Series 2!
