Not Washed or Cooked, # 15

I've been thinking on and off about Sky television's interface and its content. While the programme summaries are sometimes a little strange, they tend not to include errors of grammar or spelling. I don't know where or how the information is derived or sourced, but I'm assuming some kind of database is involved, and a little research suggests that databases either come with spell-checking code built in (such as Microsoft's Access) or can have code written in or added to check the spelling of input text (as for MySQL).

Presumably, the BBC uses a different method to compile data for its iPlayer. It would seem that either the system lacks spell-checking functionality or that the instructions to the BBC's operators do not incorporate a routine for editing, checking and proofreading:

The episode is actually called (as one might expect):

It's especially heinous to have errors published in material for children: not only can erroneous spellings too easily be learnt, but it's also communicating the message that bad habits, such as carelessness, are acceptable.
