If the BBC stream their video content in DASH format (like the audio)
then it is probably possible (the youtube plugin extracts audio streams
from dash video/audio).
The problem would be how to present the content, I wouldn't have thought
that there is an api that is as accessible as the "Radio and Music
Services" API that drives BBC sounds. It could probably be done with
screen scraping.
So all in all, if someone has the will driven by seeing the use case as
convincing enough, then it probably could be achieved. It's probably a
lot of effort though for a limited amount of viable content.
