 I'm playing around with the Programmes XML serialisation to get information
 episodes available on the iPlayer - I'm using the syntax:
 /programmes/:groupPID/episodes/player.xml
 as specified at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/developers
 This works fine where I'm getting details for a series - so:
 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rs7c9/episodes/player.xml works fine
 Is there any syntax for getting similar information for a programme that
 isn't part of a series - e.g.:
 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rq3y2
 The information available at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rq3y2.rdf
 doesn't contain any information about iPlayer availability, nor does it
 point towards a groupID (as far as I can see? - not sure what qualifies as a
 groupID?).

It does contain the hierarchy relations (links to containing series
and/or brand). However, in that case, the episode is orphaned, so the
only group that is available is the masterbrand.

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rq3y2/episodes/player.xml
 doesn't work.
 How can I find out iPlayer information about this programme?

The availability data is not available within the /programmes feeds
atm. I'll ping you when I have more news wrt that, which should
hopefully be very soon!

Cheers,

 Thanks,
