Well of course ripping copyrighted material from the BBC would be illegal
;), but academically speaking,
grab the page using CFHTTP, then look for the patterns in the HTML that
represent the data within their page that you want, then get that relevant
using normal string functions (Find, FindNoCase, Left, Right, Mid etc) or
you can be nifty and use Regular Expressions for greater accuracy (REFind,
REFindNoCase etc etc)
Regular Expressions are quite complex though, and to the first time user
appear quite horrific. Don't worry though, once you get into them you'll
find that they're as powerful as they are ugly to behold.
I suggest reading Uncle Ben's chapter on them in his advanced book.
