Cinema, take 2

Right, I'm making progress with my Zurich Cinemas script, but am running into a conceptual issue -- apologies if this is clear in the manual somewhere but so far I haven't found it.

The page http://www.kulturinfo.ch/kino/db_front/showact.php contains a list of films. I would like this list to be the 'table of contents' of my eBook and each link to go to a page giving the film details (as happens when you click on the webpage link). I'm busy overriding parse_index to get a list of feeds but seem to be stuck between choosing one of the following two options:

a) Return a list of films, which makes each film heading a feed with one article. This seems to lead to an intermediate page between the 'table of contents' and the actual film description, with this intermediate page having just the one film on it

b) Return a one-item list, with all films attached as a list of articles to this one feed. This causes an table of contents with a single entry in it. The example I've been cribbing off (The Atlantic) does this too.

Is there any way to not have either 'interstitials' like in a) or a single-entry ToC as in b)? If not, I'd probably choose b) as the lesser evil.......

Thanks
