Not surprisingly, a search for "ER" brings up 250 results of programme titles with the letters "er" in them, in other words nearly every other programme. Padding with spaces either side does not reduce the number of results, neither does the use of quotes ("ER") or underscores (_ER_) or even full stops (E.R.).

Is there a way of using special characters in order to find instances of the US medical drama?

The FIND is not that sophisticated. The best thing here is to search here: http://www.tvtv.co.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects/EPGen.woa

And then use the guide to proceed to the right date and channel...

Entering a space then 'ER' brings up 8 results. They are for 'Bizarre ER'. If ER was on in the next week then it would probably show them too and not 250 results!

ER is on, on Monday 24th March at 14:00, on More4.

It does not show using 'ER ' or ' ER' in Find, as the show is just 'ER' in its title...

Yeah that's right and you cant sort the result A-Z, just by channel so if its on More 4 that might help - but its not very good.
It probably wouldnt be worth searching for 'V' if they repeated it.

If I remember correctly ER is classed as Drama so do a Drama search to cut down the results list.
