There are plenty of places where the BBC archives /are/ on-topic as many
people talk about the BBC and British television online. If you prefer
to avoid the relevant web forums then the uk.media.tv.misc newsgroup may
be a good start. I don't mean to target you specifically -- thank you at
least for the "OT:" prefix -- but, please, some of us subscribe to this
list to follow get_iplayer stuff specifically. For other topics there
are plenty of other on-topic places that are often probably more
effective; personally I like to participate in TV-related blogs but I've
even had my comments read on Radio 4's "Feedback": even TPTB do listen.
