more creatures gret and small question

[Ralph Corderoy]

Hi Alan,

> I don't have access to the original schedule

I've quite a few tv.cache, backing it up every time it gets written.
They've all got a gap in them that morning, which is quite odd, before
11:45.  I've marked those that start at the same time as another entry,
showing schedules change, with their group number.

    $ cat ~/.get_iplayer/tv.cache* |
    > awk -F\| '$5 ~ /^2018-03-02T[01]/ && $13 == "BBC Two" {print $5, $4, $3}' |

I wonder if that means obtaining the TV listings for the PVR is quite
sketchy, leaving gaps?

You're probably right.  If they don't simply slide all the episodes
along one, but actually drop one episode from broadcast leaving a hole,
you'd think they would *still* make it available on iPlayer for those
that want continuity.
