Hi, 
Still no luck with "Thursday Opera Matinee"   I can get "Afternoon on 3" but cannot get the 
--fields=episode option to work with the string "Thursday Opera Matinee" as an episode.  I 
must have the expression wrong or am misunderstanding the longhelp.  Is it possible to 
search on only part of the episode name?  Please could you give me an example?
