Plot outline constantly being overwritten...
Back in 2022 I created an entry for a one-off special on Channel 4: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22987508/reference/
I added all the cast, crew and a 35 image gallery for the special. Naturally, I also added a plot outline:
"Friday Night Live returns for one night only to celebrate 40 years of Channel 4. Hosted by Ben Elton with faces from the past including Julian Clary and Loadsamoney, along with new comedians including Leo Reich and Jordan Gray."
Not the greatest plot outline I've ever written, but there you go. It gets to the point, tells you what it's about and who's on it. Then someone replaced it with this:
"A special one-off revival of Saturday Live (1985-1988) (retitled "Friday Night Live" in its final season) to mark Channel 4's 40th anniversary, uniting original performers with current comedy talent."
So they've removed some of the detail, ie. the names of five performers on the show, and added in a point that the show it was a revival of used to have a different name... which is a trivia point at best. Totally meaningless as a "plot outline".
I replaced it, and a few weeks later this happened again.
Occasionally I take a peek at the title to see if this ever happened a third time, but it largely went through unchanged. I just took a look now, and, yes, it was changed AGAIN in the last few weeks. So this has been replaced three times over an 18 month period.
I've changed it back (unless you think the other one is better) but I wonder who keeps doing this, and WHY? I also wonder where they were when it came to submitting the cast and crew, and spending time taking 35 screenshots?

Hello MovieCat,
I have taken extra steps to prevent the plot correction from happening again. Thanks for reporting!
Cheers!
