FAO BBC: Same Series and Episode, Differents PIDs and Description.

[Ralph Corderoy]

Hi,

There's been much weirdness recently in get_iplayer's tv.cache due to
what's being published by the BBC AFAICS.

The latest example, I have some older more complex ones to write up, is
PIDs b09wc2m1 and b09wbylq are both S02E01 of _The Repair Shop_, but
with different descriptions. The `short' one is

b09wc2m1: Antique photography expert Brenton West repairs a camera
that survived World War I.

b09wbylq: A Boulle-work clock, a much-loved wheeled elephant and a
300-year-old desk are in the shop

This confusion is also present on the BBC's site.

There's more of the same sort of confusion at
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08l581p/episodes/guide where there
appear to be duplicated numbered episodes which have different PIDs.
Very odd.

My assumption would be that they are different versions of the same
episode, with one cut for length for eg a repeat.

You assume too much! :-) They're both 30 minutes, and completely
different content.

b09wc2m1
duration: 1800
desclong: Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring
three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back
to life. Resident antique photography expert Brenton West brings
his expertise to bear on a camera that survived the First World War
but hasn't taken a picture in over a hundred years, while leather
expert Suzie adds a surprise touch that leaves the camera's owner
Phil lost for words. Furniture restorer Will Kirk and horologist
Steve Fletcher joins forces to get a 20th-century designer wooden
screen back on its feet. And violin restorer John Dilworth works on
a treasured instrument that spent World War II in Auschwitz
concentration camp.

b09wbylq
duration: 1800
desclong: Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring
three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back
to life. Resident clockmaker Steve tackles an intricate Boulle-work
clock that hasn't ticked for over 15 years. Soft toy restorers Julie
and Amanda take on a jumbo-sized project in the shape of a
threadbare, but much loved, wheeled elephant. And woodwork
specialist Will get to grips with one of the Repair Shop's oldest
ever assignments - a 300-year-old Georgian desk that is showing its
age.
