Hi All I have just started getting the bbc info using TV-Anytime format as well as the rss news feeds for an rdf visualization project. I am confused on reading this about the /programmes and the possible discontinuation of the TV-Anytime, so have a couple of questions:
1. Is the /programmes information availabel in xml format, rather than having to scrape html? 2. Is there a single format cast list for bbc shows available anywhere. When I last looked, they all seemed to have different formats? Thanks Nigel > Hi Garry, > > Glad they're useful, and look forward to seeing the results of your > exciting plans!
