I began grossly editing this big mess of a series because of a report. I removed many duplicate seasons and episodes, but there is SO much left to do.
A few quick notes:
- The most recent seasons (Season 2009-2010 and up) now follow the official website.
- As far as I can tell from the web archives, the current system (with proper seasons and numerated episodes) was introduced around mid-February 2009. The old website didn't have any seasons nor episode numbers. Therefore, I decided to use the yearly splits for the earlier episodes. I think it makes the most sense AND it was easier as it is the split we currently use.
- I started quickly confirming the episodes with the Website, then BBC Genome and locking the seasons as a preventive measure. However, I'm pretty sure there are some misplaced (specials!) or missing episodes.
- The listing for some of the earlier episodes often has two episodes/parts. I haven't try to figure out what it is exactly (a second episode? a short segment?), but they are sometimes postponed/paired with a different episode.
- This one should have at least an alternative grouping by year + the current website order.

Aaaaahhh. I dislike the numbering seasons based on year so much :(. For those shows i think it looks better to just start with one and name them with the year honestly :( putting in the year looks so ugly haha.
Good luck with this project though!

Me too! They are so inconvenient and it doesn't even make sense in this case. I'll ask Travis to fix them when I'm done!
Thanks hahaha
