Google have just released functionality to embed their gadgets in your own site: http://www.google.com/press/annc/synd_gadgets.html
So if you're interested to use the BBC now/next gadget in your site, open
http://gmodules.com/ig/creator?synd=open&url="">. You can tweak the display setting there before getting the JS source to embed..
The same goes of course for any other Google gadget.
Cheers,
Mario.
