No specials with embed=episodes&specials=1

Have you tried it this way? http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/490/episodes?specials=1

More info about it here: http://www.tvmaze.com/api#show-episode-list

Hi, Jan

Yes I know about that endpoint but I need the show information in the same call, else I would need to make two network calls.

This isn't currently possible.

Thanks for the reply David, is this something you would consider or would it be a lot of work/caching issue?

I would consider it in the future, but probably not before https://www.tvmaze.com/threads/1888/better-handling-of-specials is sorted out, because that one would also have a (breaking) impact on how the API should handle specials.
