Just an update for anyone that's interested...
https://bossanovamedia.com/programme/Mysteries-of
This show is available in 2 length formats:
3x120min & 6x60min (allowing for the addition of ads by the broadcaster).
C4 chose the single episode editions to both broadcast & add to MY4 as per the earlier link.
SBS on the other hand chose to add the double episode editions to SBS OnDemand and broadcast the single episode editions on FTA TV.
I highly suspected the SBS would do this ... it's certainly not the 1st & it wont be the last time that SBS does so.
Unfortunately, when the name of the show was updated back on Feb 1st I lost the timer that I had set but didn't realise until it was too late ... oh dear, how sad, never mind. Therefore, I had to wait until this W/E.
I did record last nights "Mysteries of the Loch Ness Monster" and can confirm that there was no break between episodes, no episode 1 end credits nor opening credits to episode 2. The change from episode 1 to episode 2 occurred midway between the 3rd & 4th ad breaks.
I can also confirm that if you discount the time for the episode 1 end credits & the opening credits of episode 2 of the SBS OnDemand editions then the combined runtime matches C4. In other words, SBS hasn't cut anything from the show. Ditto for the broadcast editions.
So for next W/E there's "Mysteries of Sink Holes", I see no reason why SBS wouldn't do the same.
This isn't a IceTV problem, so I'm not sure what IceTV can do (perhaps complain but I suspect that will almost certainly not achieve anything).
