Thanks Nick,

To be honest, for originalairdate, it's the release date(year) for
both films and television that I'd find most useful.  The date that a
programme was first shown on television is not particularly relevant
(and is open to interpretation, as has already been pointed out in
this thread).

Presumably 'airdate' will always be the date of the current broadcast,
ie the same as the date of the 'programmestart' field ?

Apart from Dave and More4  those TOTP repeats from 1976 look odd when
Myth flags them as 2011.
