It does contain the hierarchy relations (links to containing series and/or brand). However, in that case, the episode is orphaned, so the only "group" that is available is the masterbrand. > http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rq3y2/episodes/player.xml > doesn't work. > How can I find out iPlayer information about this programme? The availability data is not available within the /programmes feeds atm. I'll ping you when I have more news wrt that, which should hopefully be very soon!
