Our new upstream listings providers (metabroadcast) make a distinction
between a programme's brand and it's title. Frequently, listings end
up including the brand as the title and the titles as the subtitle.
I'm trying to ensure that actual programme titles end up in the
<title> element.

If it turns out that "Blockbusters" is actually called "All New
Blockbusters" then it is suitable to change it going forwards when a
showing can easily be identified via a rule. The same applies to
Family Fortunes and others.

Cheers,
Nick
