"<firstbcast>" field absent

[Robert Snelling]

I have just looked at the source for the iPlayer web pages of 3
different programmes. Of these, Click was downloaded (and metadata OK)
13:15 on 31 May. Doctor Who; downloaded 20:15 1 June, firstbcast field
absent. Women's FA Cup Final; no attempt made to download this
programme. In all 3 cases, the following quotes from the page source
look like this (Women's FA Cup Final chosen as this example):-

<span class="release"> First shown: 4.15pm 1 Jun 2014 </span>

Searching for "first", in all 3 cases, results in only 1 match, namely
the above line. Could this be the cause? I'm on a business ADSL line
from Demon (a brand of Vodafone), and the particular service of theirs
that I have is called "Business Unlimited" (meaning it is designed for
business rather than home, and it has no download / upload limits).

I have not run GIP since my original post.

The following lines are in the format: lines 1 and 2 -> programme name
and episode; line 3 -> URL of programme on iPlayer website; line 4 ->
quote from the page source of that page.:- (3 separate programmes
illustrated)
