I just downloaded a copy of the latest freeview.xml.gz file and I can
see The Simpsons:

	<programme channel="four.freeviewnz.tv" start="20121025190000
+1300" stop="20121025193000 +1300">
		<title>The Simpsons</title>
		<desc>Halloween Episode. The Simpsons appear in three
bone-chilling tales of horror: Guest starring Fran Drescher, Dr Phil
and Richard Lewis. S18 Ep4</desc>
		<category>tvshow</category>
		<category>Comedy</category>
		<category>Animated</category>
		<episode-num system="dd_progid">T166689</episode-num>
		<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">17.3.0</episode-num>
		<rating system="Freeview">
			<value>PGR</value>
		</rating>
	</programme>


and Futurama:

	<programme channel="four.freeviewnz.tv" start="20121025183000
+1300" stop="20121025190000 +1300">
		<title>Futurama</title>
		<desc>Bender learns that he suffers from a mortal
manufacturing defect. S5 Ep6</desc>
		<episode-num system="dd_progid">T329263</episode-num>
		<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">4.5.0</episode-num>
		<rating system="Freeview">
			<value>G</value>
		</rating>
	</programme>

After uncompressing, my freeview.xml file is timestamped 24/10/2012
23:52, so if you got yours after then it should be the same.  My
compressed freeview.xml.gz file is 175,819 bytes and freeview.xml is
1,713,120 bytes.
