Finding Repeats on Radio 4

[p***@pobox.com]

Hi Folks,

The Beeb used to flag some repeats in the Radio 4 schedule with '(R)';
these notifications have more or less disappeared, for Radio 4 at least.
They also failed to admit that many programmes were repeats even though
the "Radio Times" and the individual programme's web page showed details
of earlier broadcasts.

To avoid being bothered by this, I have written a shell script to check
for these hidden repeats. You can find it here:

It works with TV and radio.

That's interesting thanks. Hidden repeats is something i'm very much
keeping my eye on. One of the recent examples was "Room 101 - Extra
Storage" - a repeat with a tiny bit extra tacked on. it would be tricky
to scriptify that );
