Discuss Agatha Raisin

Should the episode currently listed as S00E01 be listed here : https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/66671-agatha-raisin/season/0/episode/1 (special episode of the serie) or here : https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/314367-agatha-raisin-and-the-quiche-of-death (movie) ?

It is currently listed at the 2 places.

TheTVDB list it as a special episode : https://www.thetvdb.com/series/agatha-raisin/episodes/5624326 , but indicates in it that it is a movie. IMDB list it as S01E00 : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4056574/ without mention of it being a movie.

This episode doesn't seem to be mentionned on the official Acorn TV page of the serie : https://acorn.tv/agatharaisin

Okay, first of all, we try to replicate how the network originally aired the content:

a) "The pilot episode of an existing series can be added to the special season if didn't aired on television as part of the original first season."
b) "Pilots which originally aired as proper television movies or one-offs and later became a television series belong in the movie section. We try to replicate the format of the original release."

UK television pilots can be tricky. Many of them air as TV movie/potential pilot hybrids. The network are usually very evasive and rarely calls them pilot.

Unfortunately, the official Sky1 website for Agatha Raisin (2016) doesn't seem to be archived. But I think my vote is to to keep The Quiche of Death in the special for the following reasons:

  • It's a TV pilot based on the script. Both production companies also refer to it as pilot on their websites: Mammoth & Free@Last.
  • The Sky1 press material for The Quiche of Death repeatedly use "About the show" : EPK, Website & YouTube (To be fair, I'm not familiar enough with Sky to know if they use "the show" for all their one-off content)
  • While it shouldn't have any incidence on how we present the data, Acorn TV has The Quiche of Death as episode 1x01. Having the episode in the Special is without a doubt convenient.

Mods: Is anyone against it?

Hello Banana,

My main concern wasn't the fact that it is listed here as a pilot, but that it is listed at the same time as a movie and as a special here.

All right, I added it to the masterlist with the other duplicate pilots. @superboy97 The movie entry will be merged by Travis at an undetermined date in the future.
