Your requested show has been added;

You have added the thetvdb episode numbering, but I linked to the BBC's own episode guide because thetvdb's is wrong/messed up. Specifically, thetvdb have season numbering that considers the original BBC University Challenge and the current remake as the same show, and I understood that TVMaze wanted the "official" season and episode numbers. Is it okay for me to go and edit all of these numbers to the official ones?

The official episode names are also like "Episode 1" and not "some college vs some other college", which is a "scene" convention that is difficult to keep out of crowd sourced listings such as thetvdb.

Also, how do I add new/current episodes to this show. The most recent episode is not here, nor the next scheduled.

Sure you can edit it by yourself to the official. I just used TVDB externals to import. By adding new episodes, you scroll down on the episode page of that series and there's a button saying 'Create new'.

I did not take a perfect look at it and the numbering seemed to be valid to me as the requested shows keep coming.

The It Crowd we already had in the database: http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/539/the-it-crowd

Actually i meant the US Version of the IT Crowd, but given the fact that it only ever had one episodes (and if i recall correctly that was an unaired pilot) its probably not really necessary to add it

Thanks!
A quick announcement: there's a tool coming up that everyone can use to request shows, which should make the process more organised. We hope to have it online by tomorrow; if you have any large lists of requests, please hold off until then! :)

Nice! You guys are improving very quickly lately or has it been like this since you launched last year?
Anyway; keep on doing what you're doing!

Okay thanks! I see the BBC site isn't as complete with the old seasons as I had thought AND just for fun seems to be labeling the current season as "Season 15" but old seasons are using years. Sigh. I'll need to research some more before I change any season numbers.

I didn't see the "create new" button on the bottom of the episodes page as I was just looking at the current season, but I'll be able to keep it updated. Thank you.

Good luck keeping up with all the requests.
