Weird, although that is exactly how BBC Local Radio one-offs are done in the listings, everything goes under a series "BBC Radio Countyshire Special"

And sometimes Wikipedia pages for one-off drama series call them ‘miniseries’, which I never hear anybody call them, at least not UK shows.
Here's a bizarre Wikipedia page I've just stumbled on, which suggests every single one-off ITV programme of the last twenty years is part of a single series - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITV_Specials
They appear to have arbritarily decided that it began with a magic special in January 2000, and that Ant and Dec's DNA Journey is part of a series that also includes the Coronation Street Pantomime and Rhona's Rudest Home Videos. What a bizarre endeavour.
Perhaps someone might like to create a similar page for BBC Specials. "BBC Specials is a series that began in 1936. The first episode was Opening Of The BBC Television Service and the most recent was The Big New Year's Eve In with Paddy McGuinness."

DNA Journey wasn't even a special. It was Ant and Dec's idea and they had themselves as the first subjects, but it's going to be a series.
Turns out the article was originally only about MUSIC specials. At some point in the last nine years, someone has clearly taken it beyond it's original scope and in doing so made it inaccurate.

So it seems, although it was a pretty tenuous idea for a page in the first place, as Music Specials aren't even a thing either.
I see someone, maybe from here or maybe because I mentioned it on Twitter, has just flagged it as being a candidate to be deleted. What a snitch I am.

If the Emma mattress was the item they were having issues with, then orders aren't taken via Ideal World, it's all done via a link to their website.
It was playing pre recorded material, which is odd as surely it should just go off air if you can't buy the item.

I think it's someone here because the user also reverted the Mike Flowers Pops page after someone edited it saying TOTP said they were Christmas No. 1 1995 (when BBC Four just showed an alternate version)

Not seen this anywhere else yet but Faily Mail is reporting BGT has been scrapped or postponed depending on how you look at it

JA
No mention of Autumn in that statement?
Yeah, it's postponed indefinitely, they didn't name new dates. Wouldn't surprise me if it's postponed by an entire year.
