Outstanding issue with Last of the Summer Wine entry

I've tried requesting a few renumberings on this, but they never get accepted - though it does require one being renamed to a fake number like 500, then everything else shifted in place. Anyway. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069602/episodes?season=9 Whoever originally added the episodes for season 9 did so by creating them all as 1986, even though they aired in 1987. I got the dates changed through proof through archive newspapers, etc. HOWEVER. This means that one of the two specials that aired before the season, in 1986, became numbered as part of the run: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955179/?ref_=ttep_ep14 As there's already a special that aired before the season, the best thing to do would be to name it 9.1, I think? As it stands, it's currently sitting in the middle as 9.13, after a dozen episodes that aired after it.

Hi MovieCat -   To clarify, did the "Merry Christmas, Father Christmas"  episode air directly after Season 8?  Or did it air more directly just before Season 9?

@Michelle Directly just before season 9. Here's how the dates work out: Last episode of season 8 - 17 March 1985 Uncle of the Bride (Special one-off episode, currently listed as 9.0) - 1 January 1986 Merry Christmas, Father Christmas - 28 December 1986 First episode of season 9 - 4 January 1987 I suppose the problem could be solved by making "Uncle of the Bride" 8.7, but thematically it fits with 9 - it was made to introduce a changeover of a main character.

@Michelle I see this issue is still outstanding: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069602/episodes?season=9
