RadoxTheGreen 11th Aug 2015		I've never considered them to be the same.



23skidoo 11th Aug 2015		@Radox. My understanding though is new entries tend to be if a series changes its title (as is the case with A Very...). There was a 16-year gap between the 1963-89 and 2005-present series of Doctor Who, yet only one entry. Add to the fact that terminology differs (in US/Canada a "series" refers to a complete run of a show, whether that be 13 episodes or 26 years), while "series" in UK/Australia means the same as "season" does in the US and Canada.



RadoxTheGreen 11th Aug 2015		Bird of Prey was a 4-episode mini-series. This is the sequel. Bird of Prey was only ever intended to be a one off story. The sequel had to be freshly written due to favourable viewing figures and BBC pressure to bring back Henry Jay, hence the two year gap between shows. IMO it should be a separate entry; it's a sequel in the same way that A Very Polish Practice is a sequel to A Very Peculiar Practice. Basically, Bird of Prey was about pen pusher Henry Jay uncovering a Europe-wide conspiracy on his incredibly huge 64k computer, which took up half the room and was described by the salesman as "portable" (but had to be delivered as it wouldn't fit in Henry's car). Bird Of Prey 2 was the story of Henry running for his life from the crooks revenge. It contained a plot twist at the end (spoilers!) which didn't sit well with me as it seemed totally ludicrous that his wife would be involved in that way.



23skidoo 10th Aug 2015		Should this actually be a separate listing? We already have one for Bird of Prey; this I assume is just the second season/series of that. We don't have separate listings for the different Red Dwarf seasons. (Unless Bird of Prey 2 is a completely different show with the same cast, sort of like how each series of Blackadder was technically a different show.)
