Summary: tv_grab_uk_rt Duplicate start times 

Initial Comment:
If the radio times description includes something like:

including five News Update
or something like
Followed by five news at 9

Programme start and finish times overlap surrounding 
programmes. I can see the logic in the case 
of 'including', but not in the case of 'Followed by'.

For example:
Start of extract from xmltv file (not contiguous):
<programme start="20040222200000 +0000" 
stop="20040222210000 +0000" 
channel="channel5.co.uk" clumpidx="0/2">
    <title lang="en">Back to Reality</title>

<programme start="20040222200000 +0000" 
stop="20040222210000 +0000" .....
<title lang="en">five news at 9</title>
Finish of extract from xmltv file (not contiguous)

(that is, five news at 9 is shown as starting at 8 and 
finishing at 9, the same timings as the programe it 
followed)

Although I can see the logic in duplicating the timings if 
it is 'included' in a programme, it would ne 'nice' to be 
able to strip such duplicates out or for some flag to be 
included in the xmltv file, perhaps denoting if it is 
an 'including' or a 'followed by' case :-)

    <desc lang="en">This pretension-free, futuristic 
thriller comes pretty close to being Sylvester Stallone's 
best ever picture. (Audio-described) Wisely keeping his 
tongue stuck firmly in his cheek, Stallone plays a tough 
cop whose unconventional methods land him in a 
cryogenic prison. Decades later, he is defrosted to hunt 
down an old sparring partner, the spectacularly 
psychopathic Wesley Snipes (complete with blond 
thatch), who has escaped from his deep frozen state 
and is creating havoc in the now crime-free Los Angeles 
(renamed San Angeles). Of the supporting cast, Sandra 
Bullock has an early run at a role she would later perfect 
in Speed, Denis Leary gets to deliver one of his thinly 
disguised stand-up routines, while Nigel Hawthorne plays 
the doctor overseeing this 21st-century Utopia.</desc>
