Help please with --pid-recursive

[Michael Gregory]

Hi,

I did make an embarrassing typo in the actual pid... but you got the idea.
Cut and paste it this time.
Series 1 pid is m00085sw (not sv)

There's loads of old stuff on iPlayer now, since they removed the 7 day, and then 28 day limits.

Please can you advise if using scripts I can use --pid-recursive but omit series 2 and 3.  If I run this now and use --force I end up with overwriting all three series.  Not a disaster but wasteful.  BTW this assumes series 1 will still be found.
