Richard Osman answered a listener question on his podcast about season vs series. His view is that series means the show as a whole, season is a run of episodes. So you might call the classics series 1 and the reboot series 2
Although as much of an authority as Richard is, I think that's rubbish. I distinctly remember Redvers Kyle using the phrase "last in the present series" and listings magazines highlighting returning programmes with a New Series flash.
