I'm having issues with splitting out the BBC TV series and the 2005 film from the radio recordings (and the books).
So, we have the original BBC radio broadcasts / dramatisations starting in 1978:
- The Primary Phase
- The Secondary Phase
- The Tertiary Phase
- The Quandary Phase
- The Quintessial Phase
These should form the core of the series.
The 5 Hitchhiker's books are novelisations of the above.
The BBC then made a TV series in 1981 which adapted roughly the first 2 radio series/books.
Then there was the 2005 film which mostly followed the TV series although I think there were some plot differences (I'd have to rewatch both) to be sure.
The Hexagonal Phase (which was based on And Another Thing) is not written by Douglas Adams although it is based on the series.
As Douglas Adams reportedly tended to significantly rewrite the plot between the adaptations (to the extent it became contradictory in places), I believe the different media should be kept separated and linked to the source version(s) using work-to-work relationships (and inserted into the over-arching series as separate groups).
The problem I am having is that I don't seem to be able to split my newly purchased Region 2 TV Series out of the Quandary Phase entry and merge it with the TV series. It's possible I've run foul of the duplicate 0-copy bug; I was adding via the LT App on iOS.
In all honesty, the whole series needs looking at as a whole and the various editions cleaned up. I don't actually have time to do this until later in the year when I enter flexible retirement (and my primary project will be to finally rip all my vinyl).
ETA I forgot about the 3 records...
