BBC Programme Support: the start of something great

Really pleased to see the BBC's new Programme Support pages. It's a very simple idea: A page for each episode, each with a simple permanent URL. That means that instead of telling you to watch Tuesday's Spooks, I can tell you to watch:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0084cn2

OK, that's a bit of a mouthful if I tell you verbally, but what if my telly tells yours? Your telly could have it ready for you when you get in. Now each of those pages needs some machine-readable links to the places where the shows are available. We're on to that.
