As I don't think anyone has specifically said yet, there was some actual news in Ms Bennett's announcement last week: the plan to merge /programmes and the Infax catalogue (the now-defunct catalogue.bbc.co.uk). This means that detailed information about every show we've ever broadcast will be available through the lovely /programmes interface, with all the cast-lists, schedule information, and "billing" info (actually much better descriptions than the listings from the radio times, though it would be nice if they were included as well...) Hope that helps to clear up those nasty coughs! Brendan.
