There appears to be some disagreement (plus or minus one minute) about the lengths of episodes. I am entering the lengths of episodes as shown on BBC One/iPlayer, which is presumably the "original network", but they are getting changed to something else. I'm not sure why the lengths should be different on other platforms (presumably HBO), but if we're going to use BBC One for release dates, should we also do so for episode lengths?

As I'm not in the UK, I can't play the episodes and check their exact durations.
All I can do is remind that here we always round the durations up and that I don't know how the rounding is done by the BBC.

Ah thanks. This is my fault then. iPlayer rounds up or down to the nearest minute.
I didn't realise you only rounded up. You might want to mention that in the TV Bible (and maybe in the web form). I found it in the Movie Bible eventually, but I only ever edit TV so I don't look in there usually!

For example, if you only have 59 minutes available, you will not be available to completely view an episode which have a duration of 59 minutes and 10 seconds.
