There has got to be a better way, I might hack /myth/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt 
to remove episode data if Doctor Who, would not be hard.
programid=EP19090030328 is a concat of 
EP<elfhash(title)><episode><series> so now I know where that comes from.

Why can't we have programid in the 'Duplicate Check method' by default 
and then all the other options, so that we can override the programid 
when we know it is bad.
