Yes I thought that might be what you'd do. I think (from memory) I've switched the order around so rather than doing extract parsing *after* the user fixups, I do it before them, so that wouldn't work here.

True. My reticence over the extract_numbering routine stems from it being too generic; I think I've tried to cater for too many possible permutations of leading/trailing data (based on what I've seen while working on other country's grabbers). This of course increases the risk of false positives.

It is useful though with some of the website scrapers. But, ideally they should themselves parse out the ser/ep from the title and not rely on a later fix-up.

Cheers,
Geoff
