I see the film reviews are nolonger being updated on the BBC site.
Does anyone know why and will this mean that the film reviews xml
feeds will no longer be updated.
The Movies site (and it's associated section on BBCi) formally closed on
6 May 2008 - they've left the archive online, however there won't be any
new reviews. As such, the feeds won't get updated.
The ratings DB at http://www.bbc.co.uk/movies/ (assume this is the
site you're talking about) still seems open for business. I voted on a
couple of movies and it increased the counter, eg. 'Average rating: 4
from 701 votes' in
http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2002/03/28/panic_room_2002_review.shtml#
Will the system carry on accepting ratings indefinitely? Is there any
way to get a movie ratings data dump out of /cgi-perl/polling/poll.pl ?
Yes there is. The documentation etc is available from
http://www.bbc.co.uk/movies/syndication/1/docs/, however it probably
isn't much use anymore.
