The parent site of epguides provides vast amounts of information relating to episodes of British and American television programmes, both fiction and non fiction. There are some very large gaps in many of the non-American entries especially and it is not always completely accurate either - it is nonetheless an invaluable resource, giving cast, crew, plot and transmission details for thousands of television programmes. It now includes useful 7-day listings facility for most TV channels in its local UK version. Previously known as TV Tome.
