Some programmes will contain "Episode 1" or similar, but others, like 
your gardening show, get their episode numbers from elsewhere in the 
metadata.  Which leads me the larger question: What media manager are 
you using that can't sort episodes by number within a series?  Not every 
programme will have an episode number, but many will.  Those that don't 
often use dates for episode titles, so it's easy enough to enter your 
own episode numbers.  Since the dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format they 
won't sort properly by title, either.

--tag-fulltitle was only put in for backwards compatibility because some 
people liked the old tagging scheme.  Feel free to add another option 
that does what you want.

There is no way a general-purpose downloader could deal with all the 
different metadata formats, web scraping, etc. required to do tagging. 
Besides, I prefer my downloaders to be mildly cryptic, CLI-only, and 
written in a language that looks like an explosion in a typewriter 
factory :}
