Episode titles?

Where does the episode titles come from? They aren't on the official site. --OpenFuture (talk) 20:17, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

they come formt eh broadcaster when annouce the air dates to papers and online schedulse liek digiguide--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 22:17, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, is there any WP:RS that lists these titles? --OpenFuture (talk) 05:55, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Digiguide and radio times are both realible source as does the chanenl 4 website--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 08:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The channel 4 website does *not* list the titles. Hence it is not a reliable source for the titles. Digiguide is some bizarre windows program, hard to verify, not everyone uses Windows. Radio Times does seem to have titles, but apparently only lists upcoming shows. That has to do for the time being, but it's not ideal, as it gets impossible to verify once the program has been sent. --OpenFuture (talk) 09:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

digiguide is a windows prgoram, itnernet site and tv database, and oyur correct it seems channel 4 aint update there site but the title are correct--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 16:24, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No volunteers then?--Gaunt (talk) 21:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, did it myself.--Gaunt (talk) 21:22, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Episode numbering?

The text says "Episode # refer to the number in air date order", so what about episodes 213 & 214? Should these two be renumbered? (Massacre In The Cellar has the airdate 16 May, and Halls Of A Saxon King has the date 9 May.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.227.8.16 (talk) 09:06, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes 221 and 222 are also not in airdate order. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.227.8.16 (talk) 12:07, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no as these where air out of order the text should be renamed to say episode number erfer to episode air date which includes the specials--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 13:23, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Too much copying from the sources

For instance, compare what this article says in the opening blurb for episode #224 with what the Channel 4 web site says:

WP article – "Tony and the Team climb a remote Herefordshire hill to investigate one of the biggest prehistoric sites ever featured on Time Team. Was Dinmore Hill the site of a vast Iron Age hill fort? "

C4 web site – "Tony and the Team climb a remote Herefordshire hill to investigate one of the biggest prehistoric sites ever featured on Time Team. Was Dinmore Hill the site of a vast Iron Age hill fort?"

The blurb for episode 218 is even worse:

WP article – "Tony and the Team examine the remains of the world's first ever purpose-built prisoner of war camp, at Norman Cross in Cambridgeshire, built in 1797 to house 7,000 Napoleonic troops."

C4 Web site – "Tony and the Team examine the remains of the world's first ever purpose-built prisoner of war camp, at Norman Cross in Cambridgeshire, built in 1797 to house 7,000 Napoleonic troops."
