Due to the BBCs dreadful decision to cancel their entire schedule on BBC1 and BBC2 on Friday a number of those programmes were shown yesterday (Saturday). In particular Gardeners World. Even though I have this set on the Aura as a series link the rescheduled programme failed to record. SkyQ however took this in its stride and recorded said programme. Is this a shortcoming of Freeview Play or the BBC? If the BBC then why was it flagged in the Sky EPG and not Freeview Play?

So the box has no way of relating the existing series with the new one.
They do that all the time. I currently have two series recordings for Escape To The Country.
The first one has two events
Mon 12th apr at at 15:15 and Sun 18th apr at 13:50
The Second one Is different Series. Detailed Info display shows this clearly.
Mon - Friday 12th - !6th Apr
I think Sky create There own series crids for the Sky-epg.

Oh don’t mention escape to the country. Wife goes mad as one week it records next week nothing, then she’s trying to find the right episodes on iPlayer.

That will happen if the BBC have done what I say. It will find any episodes not yet transmitted using the original series codeing yet ignore earlier transmitted ones using a different series crid.
As my example clearly shows the consecutive ones needed a new reservation.
That is why you get the issue. If you check the epg and find a new episode not flagged in the epg. Check the detailed info for the series number of the lat one in the epg and the first missing one add a new series for the first missing one.
I think the BBC simply trot out the crids used for the original showing and no considering that this makes it impossible for the boxes to pick up all the events.
