Excellent detective work Simon! It is great to get a listing like this that confirms the other entries in Dean's episode guide, clarifies the skipped broadcast on 1999.05.07 and confirms that a broadcast occurred on 1999.05.26.

Charlie's subsequent post analyses the options.

I agree with his analysis as it is the simplest solution, and hence usually the correct one.

1999.04.20 s03e02 'What I'd really like to Talk About' (Hawks/Richard/Frost/Balding) (as in the video itself)

1999.05.26 s03e20 'Saying Sorry' (Vranch/Goddard/Morton/O'Connor)

With the current episodes 16-20 being renamed 15-19.

As an aside, for this series, there is an indication of some forward planning for the actual broadcast date. In the episode:

JAM TV - 1999-04-23 s03e05 #033 - St George's Day

Nicholas says 'I've just realised something. The subject is so apt for today because it is St George's Day'.

This indicates that the broadcast date for (at least) this episode must have been known or planned in advance. It is rare for such definitively date identifying statements to exist in panel game programs.

Thanks again Simon for the information required to resolve this issue. I also look forward to any treasures you may unearth from your collection of VHS tapes.
