I've discovered in looking for episodes of a particular programme that selecting its "brand" from a list of search results doesn't bring up all the available episodes of that programme. For example, search on "Frank Muir" and the first three pages of hits include 25 episodes of the programme "My Music". But select My Music's "brand-1558" link from one of those hits and you only get 5 results - whereas I would have expected selecting the "brand-1558" link to bring up at a minimum the same 25 episodes. Theoretically I would expect that the "brand-1558" link might bring up more episodes - eg. if there were episodes of that programme in which Frank Muir did not participate - but never less.

I raised this today with the chap at BBC WS who issued my invite. His reply was as follows: "Hi Charles. It looks like a bug. Thanks for noticing. We've been doing some work on search recently and it looks like things have gone out of sync. I've raised it as a bug with the development team so should get sorted soon. Thanks again. Michael."
