The search functionality on BBC's own websites has never been particularly helpful.
But searching within Google does yield the specific program page for The Music Man installment of the Radio 3 Sunday Feature: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002przx And one can use the text in that link -- the "m002przx" part -- with the get_iplayer program I mentioned earlier - to download the program to your own computer. rC On Sun, Feb 15, 2026 at 11:54 AM david goren <[email protected]> wrote: > > Actually didn’t mean this to go to everybody, but John…but to follow on > Rich’s comment. > > I think on BBC.com there’s some murky intent to…maybe…link to programs on > other networks like Radio 3.
