Currently there are 20+ entries for this show, one for each episode, even though it's a regular long-running TV programme that only releases one or two episodes each year during the Christmas Holiday. Same set, same format, same host, and many of the same guests. It's essentially the same thing as counting each individual year of Dick Clark's New Year's Eve special as a separate entry which wouldn't make sense. All the entries should either be combined into one "Big Fat Quiz" entry, or probably more preferably, into 3 entries: One for "The Big Fat Quiz of the Year", One for "The Big Fat Quiz of the Decade" and one for "The Big Fat Quiz of Everything."

Thanks for this suggestion! The thing that confuses it is that IMDB has them all listed separately, and this is kind of what we depend upon for checking to make sure our data is in order. So even if we manually combined these into a single entry, users would be able to continue adding individual entries unless we built a custom set of rules to prevent it.

That's not impossible of course! But until there's a more pressing need for such functionality, it probably won't be something we prioritize. I have added it to our list of future changes, however!

Perhaps allow both the series as a whole and each episode to be ranked then? Similar to how Sherlock is both available as a show and each individual episode is as well.
