Ratings manipulation on a chat show episode...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0834844/reference/?ref_=sr_t_1

Not a major big deal, but in over 1,100 episodes of "Wogan", only two of them passed the 5 votes minimum voting freshhold.

One of them is probably legit, as it was recently reshown and starred a fairly famous actress.

But this one, "Night of a 1000 Wogans"... it has over 100 votes, which seem to have occurred within a very short space of time. 90 of them are from the US, where I don't believe the show has even been shown - unless there was some random viral moment?

The mathematical probability of 1,100 episodes getting less than 5 votes and a single episode getting 105 (86% of which think it was 10/10) seems........... highly unlikely.

Very odd.
