Updated - we already handle(d) Springwatch 2010 in the same way, so
this makes perfect sense to add.

I'll get some more debugging added to find years in titles such as
this, as it should help to highlight them before transmission.

It might also make sense (or be helpful at least) to add a title
processing routine that can accept a Perl regexp rather than pure
text, as this would allow titles like this to be handled going
forwards with no or little intervention required.

Cheers,
Nick
