Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Create a JSON object for "Doctor Who" Season 6.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented/guessed titles, names, dates, etc.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (except within the primer array as requested by the JSON structure, but the prompt says "no bullet points" in the prose instructions, yet asks for an "array of exactly 4 concise bullet points" in the JSON schema. I will interpret "no bullet points" as applying to the prose style of the overview, while the primer is a JSON array). Correction: The prompt says "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text — no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points." This applies to the content within the JSON values.
Output: Valid JSON only.
JSON Keys:
overview: 160-220 word summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise items summarizing essential previous lore, character positions, and stakes.
