Warning message when using 'Use Current Page' (but still adding BBC programme to queue) #324

Using the latest version downloaded today (thanks!) when I click on 'Use Current Page' on https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08mlg6x I get a warning message. See screenshot

Strangely it thinks it's a series, but it's a single programme 'clip', which it goes ahead to add to the queue anyway!

Are you aware of this anomaly?

Nope, first time I've seen it. Odd that it adds it anyway; I thought it would have bailed after the alert appeared.

I'm wondering if it's something to do with it being categorised as a 'clip' rather than a programme - since the Alt History series that it is part of - and is what it comes up in GiA as - doesn't list it as an episode - see https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07dkx93/episodes/player but instead it is in this list https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07dkx93/clips Even though it conforms to the same url scheme as an episode like https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07dlcpp presumably get-iplayer gets confused?
