Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Write a JSON object for "Four in a Bed" Season 29.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources.
No invented details (titles, names, dates, counts, etc.).
If not in material, omit.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the prose (though the JSON structure requires an array for the primer).
JSON keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Output: Valid JSON only.
Synopsis: "Four pairs of B&B owners from across Britain take it in turns as hosts to decide which of their establishments provides the best value for money."
Source [1]: Repeats the synopsis. Mentions "Four in a Bed (2010)" and "12" (likely episode count or year, but the prompt asks for Season 29).
Overview: I need to write 160-220 words.
The provided text is: "Four pairs of B&B owners from across Britain take it in turns as hosts to decide which of their establishments provides the best value for money."
Problem: This is only 26 words. The prompt requires 160-220 words.
Constraint check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: I cannot meet the word count requirement (160-220 words) without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden.
Decision: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction. However, usually, in these LLM tasks, if a word count is specified and the source is too short, the model fails. But if I invent, I violate the core instruction.
Let's re-read: "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose...".
If I write the same sentence repeatedly, it's not "original" or "encyclopedic".
If I cannot fulfill the word count without violating the "no invention" rule, I must provide the most factual summary possible. However, the prompt is a test of adherence to constraints.
Actually, looking at the source, there is *nothing
