The operand   --fields   means   search only in the named field(s)/columns
of the data in the cache file.

Previously the programme "Afternoon on 3" had values like

  Thursday Opera Matinee - Verdi La Traviata

in the episode field, so your search worked.  However, now there's several
programme names for Afternoon on 3, eg this week we have:

 Afternoon on 3: BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
 Afternoon on 3: German Radio Orchestras
 Afternoon on 3: Thursday Opera Matinee

and the episode column gives specific details of the content of such a
programme.

For you I think you maybe just have to stop telling the PVR to look in the
episode column, as I think it will look in the programme name column by
default.
