Hmm, I should have realised that the HTML would break recordings.

I've uploaded a new version with these two minor changes;

- Strip the HTML from the titles, this just uses a basic regex and will break 
if there are any invalid tags in the titles. It should work fine temporarily.

- Catch a wider range of exceptions which will fix the invalid date problem.

I'm still working on a bit of a rewrite so this is just a band aiduntil I can 
get that done.
