Wireshark MAY tell you that they're using the Nitro API with a defined key....

I couldn't possibly comment though.

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!
