I can't tell you if there is one regex that will do all your filenames.
I know far too little.
If you want to start adding some anyway then ...

This regex from kiwidude works on both of the above two filenames.
Code:
^(?P<author>((?!\s-\s).)+)\s-\s(?:(?:\[\s*)?(?P<series>.+)\s(?P<series_index>[\d\.]+)(?:\s*\])?\s-\s)?(?P<title>[^(]+)(?:\(.*\))?
works with;
Bloggs, Joe - My title
Bloggs, Joe - Some Series 1 - My title.txt
Bloggs, Joe - Some Series 1.5 - My title.txt
Bloggs, Joe - Some Series 1.5 - My title with sub-title hyphen.txt

Is this
Series - Title
If so the regex below works when I test it.
(?P<series>[^_]*) - (?P<title>.+)
