This is a GMT->BST transition issue (which occurs in two weeks, so
today is the first day BST dates will start to appear regularly in the
listings. I'll look into it later or tomorrow. At first glance, that
is an invalid date/time - so something has clearly gone wrong during
processing.

Please can you state which version of XMLTV and the uk_rt grabber you are using.

Cheers,
Nick
