Language: en-US

Type of Problem: Design_issue

Extra Details: The page currently is correctly showing the current season as "Specials", but is incorrectly showing the episode at the bottom of it as "Episode One" instead of one of the special episodes. I believe this is messing up the API such that these specials never show up as "next_episode_to_air" in the API response.

These episodes are not special episodes, but the upcoming episodes for the new season 1. Their release date is currently unknown.

I see. Do you know why it thinks the next_episode_to_air is "Episode 1" rather than "Wild Blue Yonder"?

Snippet from the API response:

"last_air_date": null,
"last_episode_to_air": null,
"name": "Doctor Who",
"next_episode_to_air": null,

It doesn't take in account the special episodes. The next regular episode to air will be "Episode 1".
