I looked at this before.  Their T&Cs appear to preclude any sort of 
caching proxy arrangement.  They also appear to preclude - or at least 
heavily discourage - full local caching as get_iplayer has done.  They 
also make it clear they want every user to have an api key, so every 
user could be tracked individually.  Fair enough - they make their money 
on stats, no doubt.  The other options are too expensive for 
get_iplayer.  It might be one way to go if necessity dictates, but I 
don't think we are there yet.
