Hi,
Program crids: 285169583, 285170277 and 285171923
are in fact all the same program "Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of
Crisps",
All with the same description "Purgatory: Gaz tries to get over his
guilt by doing
one special thing for Donna. Janet holds a party for Louise's
graduation."
285171923 also seems to have 21 audio channels - which although
impressive
might not be true :)
Cheers

Thanks for keeping us informed about these anomalies - most
appreciated. Many of these happen unfortunately further up the chain
from where the data is generated but these two certainly sound like
they shouldn't have slipped the net.
The first one is strange - a programme with the same synopsis and
title on BBC Three should have been allocated the same CRID - I
suspect that isn't a "chain" problem and should hopefully be
something I can track down and fix myself.
I see no reason why any channels should have 21 channels of audio
(well, I think I've worked out what's going on - read on)! Any
errors that come through from our scheduling department that are
obviously bogus (e.g. 5.1 surround or any other signification other
than stereo or mono) should be trapped and are given a default value
within the permitted range. I'll check the code on Monday to see how
on earth that happened! Almost certainly a case statement gong wrong
and giving it both 2 and 1 channels I suspect...
