There’s plenty of things broadcasters do that I am critical of. Even if this was some attempt at trickery I wouldn’t really be bothered.

What’s ridiculous about your post is the suggestion that the BBC is trying to get one over on viewers. When the most likely scenario is they didn’t think the other series were that relevant as they never had any intention of showing them and it just makes things simpler as a proposition for iPlayer audiences. Or possible the people responsible for uploading the listings on iPlayer themselves are unaware of previous incarnations.

If it was a series of something like Friends and they started labelling season 6 as series 1, I would find that a bit odd. But for this programme it seems to make sense because of the particular set of circumstances.
