dinkypumpkin: The BBC have removed the programme data feeds used by 
get_iplayer...

Well crap. This means all the RSS feeds are now gone. I was already struggling 
with the new iPlayer interface before and was so glad for the RSS feeds. Now 
they just abruptly disappear and I'm left floundering. Lovely. Looking at the 
replacement for said feeds, there doesn't seem to be any information for 
end-user access. It's all developer-based.

I guess this means I'll have to deal with the inherently visual nature of BBC 
iPlayer's site from now on? *sigh* This is what I get for being a complacent 
blindy...
