Anyone else notice after yesterdays conclusion to series 54 the BBC
persisted in their mis-numbering and the announcer said that was the
end of series 51???

I now have a theory about this.

Seasons 17, 19 and 21 have in common that no new shows were recorded for
them. Essentially they present the second recordings of the shows
recorded of the previous season. Is it possible that the BBC just
regards these seasons then as an extension of the previous season.

If so, I politely disagree. Season 21 was broadcast almost a year after
season 20.

But - this did happen just three times and that's the difference between
our counts. So it's a theory.
