Repairing shows where external files have been lost

• The further back in time we go with these repairs, the more challenging they tend to become because of the variations in the way shows were put together. It has been difficult to process more than five a day, and there have been a few breaks along the way!

• The current state of the project is that it has been completed:

 +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+ | date | repairable | repair_count | unrepaired_count | +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+ | 2024-10-03 | 352 | 352 | 0 | +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+

• All of the processed shows have access to their transcripts, which are held on archive.org. However, there remains the need to make transcripts available to the older shows which have no external files.
