Hi RS,

> Any thoughts?

I've lost the plot a bit.  You're saying that your tv.cache contains all
the episodes of _Quacks_ and that you can download any of them now if
you explicitly give the --pid $pid?  Episode two here says it's
available tomorrow, but if it could be downloaded now then you need a
way to ignore that `available' time.

    $ ofpl() { sed -n "$1"'s/|/\n/gp' tv.cache | sed '18d; 12d; 7d'; }
    $ paste <(ofpl 1) <(ofpl /p0596hyk/) <(ofpl /p0596k27/) |
    > expand -27
