While looking over show requests, I started to look at some of the rejected requests and found "Our Ex-Wife" with a note that it's been requested 10 times already but rejected as it's a one off. Just a suggestion, if it's possible and easy/quick to implement, to save everyone some time ... when searching for shows set-up a link to the page listing all rejects if there is a match on the page.

With our current form this would be impossible as there may be series with the exact same name on the same channel (f.e. The Secret Agent (BBC)), so it would be impossible for it to differentiate them. Though I don't think it is necessary to implement such system either if people did their homework more properly (it just takes a minute or two). BBC clearly states that it is an one-off and not a series.

OK, thanks for the info and thanks for the chuckle! People doing their homework and actually reading ... you kill me! ;-)
Though one thing that should be possible (and that I've requested before) is to display the link to the request where the same external ID was used (currently it just informs the user that it's a duplicate, rather than linking to it so you can see it in more detail).
