Why is the 1995 “Persuasion” missing from IMDb?

The 1995 BBC version of Jane Austen’s Persuasion starting Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds does not show in the database. This is a significant show and used to be there.

Not sure of this is the correct place to report.

Hi @Jagamarza

IMDb has Persuasion (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114117/) listed as part of the BBC series Screen Two (1985–2002). The episode aired 27 September 1995. Amanda Root and Ciarán Hinds are listed as the first two castmembers.

Since Persuasion is an episode of a television series, you can find the episode list using an exact title match: https://www.imdb.com/find?q=persuasion&s=tt&exact=true

The other way to find a title when you know 2 cast/crew members is

Advanced Search > Collaborations

That's particularly handy when the title is used a lot, and perhaps IMDb doesn't show what you seek, as you reported here.

Advanced Search is the last choice on the dropdown to change "All", just left of the search box atop nearly every IMDb desktop-version page.

bderoes,

Thanks for pointing out Advanced Search > Collaborations. Matter of fact, that is how I originally found Screen Two (1985–2002): Persuasion (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114117/). I neglected to point out this very useful search.
