That's good and works. One of the things I tried to do that I was suprised didn't work [and is an issue for backstage I suspect] is the normal BBC 2 tv schedule. It only has links for one week. I didn't try url hacking maybe that would have worked I don't know. I was just suprised that the standard listing showed only one week of listings. If I was trying to read scrape that I'd be a bit annoyed. > It's enough to drive a programmer to program something - incidentally, I > wanted to try some of the Backstage TV things created, but there's no way to > list prototypes by category on the site that I can see?
