Yet another one, which I'll mention again here as it was lost in the 
deluge. Does anyone know how the BBC's mobile apps work? Are they simply 
web-based frontends or do they use some private API? If the latter, then 
it might be possible to use that to retrieve metadata, with the 
advantages that it's unlikely to have support dropped overnight or be as 
fragile as scraping.

This post gives some guidance on how to investigate:

Anyway, great work; look forward to the update and it's definitely 
appreciated.

Hope you get chance to relax a bit over the weekend!
