Yes coming through as Film 2013.  Thanks.

It looks like the "with Claudia Wilkleman" has been removed from the
title on iPlayer so Film 2013 must now be the official title.

There are weird episode numbers for this series as you get episode 6
being classed as Film 2012 and episode 7 being classed as Film 2013.

I can see why upstream the change to just "Film" made some sense but I
am not sure what to do when it should change to Film 2014?

I also suspect changing to "Film" may mess up the episode numbers even
more especially if upstream they do not adjust for this.

If we leave as it is now I guess it will be caught in missed/upcoming
recordings January 2014 and a fix to Film 2014 can be put into place
then.

The following have been broadcast for 2 or more years:

Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2012
Paddy's 2012 Show and Telly
Charlie Brooker's 2012 Wipe

There are quite a few new ones but not really prime time so I will see
if they get another series this year.

Thanks
