Title disappeared/deleted?

In August 2005, the BBC broadcast a programme called either "Perfect Night In with Paul Merton" or "Paul Merton's Perfect Night In", I don't remember which. Either way, it was Paul Merton selecting his favourite TV clips, which also included a full screening of his favourite film (The Magic Christian) and an episode of Steptoe & Son. This was more than just a themed evening of programming thrown together by the channel; it was a proper programme, with its own title sequence and credits and linking material including an in-studio conversation with the film's director. At the time, I painstakingly submitted all the data to IMDb, transcribing all the credits and including all the movie connections to the archive clips, where known.

At some point since then, the listing appears to have been removed; it is no longer in the database, I did not keep my recording, and it has never been broadcast since. I don't know if there's a certain grace period after which deleted items can't be recovered, but please tell me this listing can be restored!
