Adding a Host to a Show with his Name in the Title - Continually Rejected

I get that the moderators have to deal with a lot of false data submissions. And perhaps the data moderation is partially automated.

But I'm trying to add Richard E Grant as Host of the first (and subsequent) episode of "Richard E. Grant's Very Modern Odyssey", yet it's twice been declined with the reason as "Unable to verify".

I mean it's pretty much a no brainer. His name is in the title. He's in the photo on the title page. He's already listed as Host on the main title page. Adding him to the episodes gets rejected every time.

I'm not really sure how much verification this needs or that I could supply, short of uploading the entire episode (the next episode is on Channel 4 in the UK on Sunday night if someone really wants to check).

The latest failed contribution number is 

#260814-213758-537000

@Maya​ Hi Maya

I also have submission #260813-215645-424000 for a different episode in the same series which was also rejected.

And tonight I've submitted #260816-193004-641000 with an image from tonight's episode... just in case that gets rejected too.

@Maya​ Hi Maya

I've got a few more for you. I've had a significant uplift in declined submissions lately. Has someone got it in for me? ;-)

260817-175042-066000 - I've tried to add Lou Wall to the cast, including a screenshot of the credits. No luck.

260817-175523-242000

260817-175601-850000

260817-175648-594000

260817-175726-041000

260817-175758-133000

260817-175834-656000

260817-180053-415000

260817-180127-663000

260817-180200-605000

260817-180234-981000

260817-175444-112000

All of the above were to move the credits for Lou Wall, the Australian comedian out of the profile for Louisa Wall, the New Zealand politician.

Unfortunately, a split wasn't possible for these due to both having actress/actor/self credits, hence the tedious individual submissions.

With the last one, the soundtrack submissions were accepted, the actor/actress credit wasn't.

It would be really handy if declined submissions had a bit more detail rather than generic responses.
