How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first entry, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total episodes. Try the full series against the shortest season.
BBC used a fixed 13 episode order each series, so the flat pattern is correct. No webisodes enter the rows. Only BBC broadcast series episodes are counted. The Arthurian retelling never changed the count method. That gives 6 entries for full 5 series coverage. Knights of Camelot episodes count the same as magic ones in the method used here. The finale aired as 2 parts but counts in BBC totals.
