Sorry, google switched back to html without me noticing, resending this. Peter,
some good ideas there, but there is no need to scrape the web pages when all the schedule info you could possibly need is available in xml, json and yaml files at urls of this form: www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/schedules/fm/this_week.json www.bbc.co.uk/radio4extra/programmes/schedules/2014/11/1.json www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules/last_week.json etc. see this page for further info: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/legacy/radiolabs/2008/05/helping_machines_play_with_pro.shtml the :outlet part is 'fm' for radio4, 'england' for bbcone and two and not needed for radio 4 extra/bbc four etc. hope this helps.
