Stuart, 

Great work... it seems to schedule much better for some of the BBC stuff
I've got in there. I had a few thoughts on the use of the new fields, as I
guess they can also be used to determine when a program has been split by
the news. 

This *MAY* need some scheduler changes, and I don't know if someone has
already been working on this, but I guess the logic could go something like
this:

Title - used to match rules (I presume this still works the same way).

a.seriesid == b.seriesid AND 
a.programid == b.programid   -  parts of same program, record as if one
program (record both)

a.seriesid == b.seriesid AND
a.programid != b.programid   -  different episode, record.

a.seriesid != b.seriesid AND
a.programid == b.programid   -  repeat (duplicate), don't record later
showing unless clash or failure

I haven't tested this in anger yet, so they above may already apply, but it
might need some tweaking. I guess we have to be careful that this fits with
other localities too.

it'll work without rescanning, but you won't get the full CRID
So rather than

fp.bbc.co.uk/AJVIENS you'll just get /AJVIENS


For reference, here's the current default authority lists....
