Incidentally, I was just about to post almost the same.

So - seconded.

And there's more to clean up in there. E.g. everything marked "(Horizon)" has to go, as it's already in there.

@mcosta1973: would you like me to help?

Sure, would love the help. Seems like you are doing a good job on it already.

Mike

Well, you helped me with Timewatch so I thought I'd return the favour
Shall I go on researching the rest of the episodes?

@admins/mods: am I allowed to haul stuff around between seasons and delete duplicates? Wouldn't think of doing it without your permission.

Here's the first part of 2010.
Looking at the list raises some questions:
- What to do with two/three parters? Make them their own mini series or leave them where they are? Or, to look at it the other way: should we re-integrate two/three parters that already exist as their own series back into this umbrella list?
- Should we split documentaries between BBC channels? The lists are getting pretty long, and when (or if) I start adding my backlog from the earlier years this could get a bit ugly

Someone just added this: http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&ser ... 6591&lid=7



If an Overview starts like this at least I would stop and wonder if there might be a series involved... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0070w71/episodes ... Ok, it's got only 167 episodes so far, so it's easy to miss.
And it's not on thetvdb yet.

On the other hand, there's an ABC series by the same name, but I think "Our World (BBC)" or something like that would do?

Oh well, can opened, worms everywhere...
