    I rarely watch ITV so cannot comment on that but schedules have been all
    over the place for the last ten days. And 'serial record' seems always
    to be unreliable, I have a few series set to record and they often have
    to be set to record again each week.

    I have it set up on my Virgin box, and it's recorded correctly.

    Yes. It was rescheduled to start at 20.05 and seemed to be identified as
    a new programme so the old timer setting no longer applied.

    That's a relief - my Foxsat HDR also missed it. I started it manually at 26 min. in and also set +1 to record so that I could watch ~¾ of it in HD.

    Could have sworn that Bloodlands was set also, but that didn't record.

    I record using MythTV on my Linux Mint computer. Ridley recorded
    perfectly.

    I set my recordings to start 1 minute before and 5 minutes
    after the broadcast yet I still sometimes lose the climax of some
    rubbish films.

    Bloodlands is a repeat of a poor series. I gave up watching after a few episodes.

    I recorded Ridley on ITV+1 I haven't checked to see if it recorded.

    Same on a Sky+HD box.
