The data made available by the Radio Times' XMLTV service is in turn
provided by a third-party company, so any goofs are theirs (even if
the source data they use for the BBC channels originally comes from
the Beeb...)

I added some processing to the uk_rt grabber to allow inconsistent
titles to be rewritten ('&' vs 'and', etc) but hadn't noticed this
particular one. I'll try to add some more debug output for such titles
so I can try and take action when they are spotted.
