As listed on the Genome, "Appsolute Genius with Dick and Dom":
was a separate series and not a season of "Absolute Genius with Dick and Dom".
Furthermore, taking in account that this series has been broadcasted started in November 7, 2014, this couldn't be the 5th season of "Absolute Genius with Dick and Dom", taking in account that the 4th season ended on December 7, 2016.
This series is currently not listed on TMDB, so feel free to add it.

Gosh, I hadn't noticed the dates - I remembered Appsolute as being later than that. In that case, maybe it should be Season 3 of Absolute Genius, with the current Season 3 and 4 shifted appropriately?
As to whether Appsolute Genius should be part of Absolute Genius or not: I did wonder myself. Initially I was thinking it should be separate, but the Super Tech and Monster Build seasons also had separate show names and are listed separately in Genome (i.e. they are not listed as part of Absolute Genius in Genome), but in TMDB they have been put into one series. So for consistency maybe those two should be split out too?

Hi, yes I'm in UK.
All these three redirect to the same URL, namely https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/shows/absolute-genius-with-dick-and-dom
This redirects to a different URL, namely https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/shows/absolute-genius-monster-builds with different content from the above.
This also redirects to a different URL, namely https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/shows/appsolute-genius but that seems to be a 404.
I can't seem to paste screenshots into this forum :(
I will say, though, that I find the show-specific (C)BBC pages rather lacking in general. They just have a few clips etc - no episode guide or anything really useful!

Also, I'm not sure how canonical/reliable they are. Some web person may have decided to lump shows together (or indeed, split them), but I don't know if that makes things "official".

You can't pas them directly. You need to put them on an image hoster (for example imgur) and past the link here.
This may be better than nothing.
These are the links coming from the official CBBC schedule for the first episode of each "series".

Sure, I realise that, I just don't know if some web person at the BBC decides whether a URL should be /cbbc/shows/absolute-genius-monster-builds or /cbbc/shows/absolute-genius proves or disproves whether one show is the same as another.
Anyway, here are some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/he7pxvm

We will wait for a moderator with direct access to the CBBC website to give his opinion.

Hello again. I have been watching episodes of "Absolute Genius Super Tech" recently, which is currently listed in TMDB as the third season of "Absolute Genius with Dick and Dom".
There are references within the show that "Super Tech" is actually the fourth season (referred to as "series" in the show, as is common in UK), and that "Appsolute Genius" was actually the third season. Specifically:
Also, although probably shouldn't be taken as gospel, Wikipedia inserts "Appsolute Genius" as season 3 of the overall "Absolute Genius with Dick and Dom" show, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_Genius_with_Dick_and_Dom . If nothing else, that page links to a tweet from one person in the show saying that they were filming "[season] 5", in the right timeframe for the "Monster Builds" season, which we currently have listed as the final season, number 4.
So I would like to request for someone with sufficient permissions to do the following:
Many thanks in advance!

PS This doesn't prove anything, but for fun I will point out that the "poster" on https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/59725-absolute-genius-with-dick-and-dom/ which was uploaded four years ago and nothing to do with me, is actually from "Appsolute Genius"!

Episodes are being repeated on CBBC at the moment so this is on my mind again. Please can someone renumber the seasons as mentioned above? Except that I have already created a new season for Appsolute Genius, which should be season 3 but is currently season 5.
