I see that there is a JSON feed of data from the
"www.bbc.co.uk/programmes" stem (as pointed out in the maintenance
message) but all the radio stations and TV channels are mixed together
with no obvious way of filtering. Nor can I seem to get JSON data for
the individual episodes there (although the error messages for
[hash]/episodes/player.xml and [hash]/episodes/player.json are
different, the latter being a 404 rather than the maintenance "not here
any longer" message). I assume this is therefore of limited use.

Out of interest, presumably it is straightforward to start a programme
playing once the hash (seems to be called "pid" in the JSON) is known
(presumably, in fact, the only way)? I'm wondering about the (admittedly
manual and less user friendly) process of finding the programme of
interest using the BBC website and then feeding the pid into Extras (or
iPlayer) to start it playing. It's not very good, but at the moment
there is no way at all, unless I've missed something, of playing
anything that has not been on in the last week.
