can't imagine it would be THAT difficult to put together a way of
finding the embed code - the question is whether it is allowed or
not.
I knocked together a quick thing for myself with Top Gear video
clips when bbc.co.uk/topgear moved to flash video.
It's a very simple thing and you can see it here - just click Get
Embed Code and it will take you to the list of clips.

You could create a simple form where you put the programme code
click get code and it fills out a textarea box with the right code.
In fact here is a quick and nasty one I've built for iPlayer
http://www.upyourego.com/test/pip.asp
But I don't know the exact ins and outs of iPlayer and I'm guessing
it could change at a moments notice and that doing that is probably
against the T&Cs of using iPlayer.

Watchification.com uses the hacky way of embedding - when we first
started to embed (early 2008) various BBC folk told us it was just a
matter of time before it was officially allowed but it looks like
politics/rights issues etc. have held this up.
What I think would be really exciting would be a site/service that
wraps the hacky method in a super-easy front-end allowing anyone to
do it just by selecting a programme from a list (or whatever)...
