I see that "Classic Albums" has been airing new episodes in the U.K. on BBC Four but the last new Episode was on May 5, 2017 "Carly Simon: No Secrets". This series also airs in the U.S. on AXS TV and the next episode is scheduled to air on 24 May "Rush: 2112 and Moving Pictures". This episode is not listed as having aired in the U.K. was this episode missed and needs to be added in or is the U.S. showing New episodes and the show maybe needs to be changed? - http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/13796/classic-albums/episodes

Thanks for checking this for me, Ron.

Doesn't look like our listings are right. Some episodes are missing and season/episode numbering are doubtful. Official site is pretty much useless, so it definitely needs some research.

I remember watching Rush episode couple years ago, and according to different sources it was first aired in 2010, so it's not new.

Also, why BBC Four, am I missing something? It's listed as BBC Two program at the BBC site.

BBC tend to keep the webpage set to a shows original network even if they then move a series from one network to another. There's a couple of sources that we can check, but this might have to wait til tomorrow

I added and amended the most recent episodes a while ago as they were on BBC Four in the UK but not listed. I changed the Airs on to BBC Four as it was the most recent broadcast channel... I guess it'll change again if the Rush episode due on AXS TV turns out to be the first worldwide broadcast.

I also amended some broadcast dates where the BBC Genome Project showed that the BBC broadcast preceded the VH1 broadcasts found on most sites, but there was no sign of Rush: 2112 and Moving Pictures as the data only covers BBC UK 1923-2009... The show was released on DVD by Eagle Rock in Summer 2010 but I can't find any evidence that it's been broadcast anywhere.

I agree that the season/episode numbering is sporadic but then so is the series broadcast history. Even the DVD releases are single episodes so not sure what to suggest... it's late here so off to bed...
