Series recording non-existent; shame BBC

Could we raise this with the BBC, what's the best option?

The problem (as you have pointed out) is that the BBC haven't given most of the Horizon programmes a series ID, a quick search through the EPG shows :-

Horizon : Why Can't We Predict.. ...Earthquakes? 15/17 with no Series ID
Horizon: The Power of the Placebo 8/12 with a Series ID of FP.BBC.CO.UK/TR6ZWE
Mission to Mars: A Horizon Special 2/18 with no Series ID

So only the second programme can be series linked, I would Email the BEEB

A work-around is to use auto-search&schedule in the Remote Scheduler.

That's how I find them. But the BBC could do better.

Those three programmes are apparently from different series (the /n is different for each). So if the first and third ones are just being transmitted as isolated repeats they wouldn't be part of a series this time.

The point is that these Horizon programmes on BBC4 are not part of a series but cherry-picked repeats to fit in with that evening's strand of programmes. So while it may be a shame, there is no certainly no shame to be attached to the BBC.

I disagree. This is another BBC scandal and heads should roll. At the very least the saintly and Solomon-like Public Accounts Committee should investigate, although I would favour a televised judge-lead full public enquiry. If we tolerate this....?
