It seems this would be the best data source to use so far. the BBC Programme Catalogue is already one big restful API... which may be enough for your needs, depending... replace 'infax' in with 'xml' in any url and see what you get back eg http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/xml/programme/ICYD984E http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/xml/on_this_day/2003/8/13 http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/xml/contributor/2221 - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Ah! Excellent. Very useful, especially if you know the exact name or ID number of the program/actor/etc. Might prove a little tricky if you've got incomplete data on a show... but I might be tempted to spend some time tonight putting this in a .Net assembly :)
