Maybe Amazon need to get those feuding ballerinas to retrain in cyber?

On a more serious note: This isn't the first EPG mixup. I've been seeing them for years, and not even on Amazon.

I've never heard of telly programme episodes having ISBNs/EANs. IMDB certainly seems to use its own proprietary numbering rather than anything external. I wonder whether such a thing would help.

I've seen several mixups where the blurb matches a movie/telly programme of the same name but a different year. Name matching seems a terrible way for the entertainment world to be doing things in the 21st century.
