Comment(by mythtv at longhome.co.uk):

 Stuart,

 The series link stuff seems to be working really well. Not so much for the
 monkies at BBC though:

 title   subtitle        programid
 Kill It, Cook It, Eat It        Beef    fp.bbc.co.uk/35W3TE
 Kill It, Cook It, Eat It        Lamb    fp.bbc.co.uk/35W3TG
 Kill It, Cook It, Eat It        Lamb    fp.bbc.co.uk/35W3TF
 Kill It, Cook It, Eat It        Lamb    fp.bbc.co.uk/35W3TF

 As it turns out both of the first 2 were beef, so I don't understand why
 they got seperate IDs - and the second was incorrectly labeled 'lamb'

 Tonight's episode has been called 'pork', but it's I'd is 35W3TG, so it
 wasn't going to record, maybe it will be a repeat of beef, or even lamb, I
 don't know yet, but it seems they've totally screwed this one up. They
 don't appear to have a seriesID at all.

 I had thought, although I don't know if this will still work, that
 seriesid and programid could be used together to detect parts of the same
 program (eg a film seperated by the news) as well as the usual duplicate
 matching. I think where only programid matches, it's a duplicate, but
 where both match, it's a continuation. My fear is that this doesn't fit
 the model used by other regions, in which case, might a new column be
 required: 'showingid' maybe, where the EIT series identifier would fit.
