As a experiment to see if this is what people want/expect, I have
modified two AlienBBC files to get more information on the program
entries from the BBC website and include them on the Slimserver web
page and SB display. 

Replacing The AlienBBCAodMenu file results on a little more information
in the program listing so instead of "Afternoon Reading" you now get
"Afternoon Reading - either a short story or an abridged book".

Replacing The AlienPlayableAodItem file results in more details on a
program once it has been selected to play or added to a playlist.

General install instruction for the attached zip files

1. Stop slimserver and save the relevant file in case you want to
revert
2. Down load and unzip the file into a temporary area.
3. Replace the relevant file in Plugins/Alien  
4. Restart Slimserver


This is not production code, I have only done basic tests so feedback
would be useful to know whether to put more effort to include in the
AlienBBC Plugin.

The changes could be enabled/disabled in settings so that a user could
choose whether to have short or long descriptions.
