You can, for example, start a major television event at a time like 6:45. What, was there a really important 15-minute show at 6:30? Or they just wanted to make sure everyone had time to get situated on (or behind) the sofa?
Also, the title of the episode is “Planet Of The Dead,” but they can get away with just putting “Riddle Of The Sands” up there like it’s the title. Who cares? They’re the BBC. They have Doctor Who. They’ll position their implicitly successful shows however they like.
Note to the BBC: By the time this episode airs on BBC America, all the Americans who really wanted to see it, will already have seen it. Something to consider. Just open up international access to the videos on your site, please. Cheers, mate.
