I'm running the latest get_iplayer (from git) on Raspbian (Raspberry
Pi) and seeing issues with searches containing colons (:).
Adding the currently broadcasting Coast Australia as a series record
using the web PVR creates a search file with the content:
search0 ^Coast\: Coast Australia$

Any ideas why ... the manual search is finding too many?

Thank you all for your responses. I understand that the search is not
matching programmes. I was able to get matches manually from the
command line using the episode field.
I guess I wasn't explicit enough about my question which is why is
the PVR Add Series option not generating a PVR file
