Yes, so we can forget about those.

That top link I quote above gives a "BBC Four Goes Pop" headline
followed by paragraphs, each one to a programme PID page, e.g. the first
is

    Soup Cans & Superstars  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b067ftp7

    In the centrepiece film of BBC Four's pop art season, Alastair Sooke
    champions pop art as one of the most important art forms of the
    twentieth century, peeling back pop's frothy, ironic surface to
    reveal an art style full of subversive wit and radical ideas.

A precise URL please.  Why should we have to hunt?  :-)

Cheers, Ralph.
