It's now possible to find out details of all the radio and TV programmes in the BBC archives, following the corporation's introduction of an experimental online catalogue.
The catalogue - covering programmes back to 1937 - is part of a new strategy outlined last week by Ashley Highfield, the BBC's Director of New Media & Technology, that's intended to "keep the BBC relevant in the digital age" and to move the corporation's output beyond the boundaries of traditional means of broadcasting.
Although the catalogue doesn't yet allow direct access to the programmes themselves, that's something that's on the cards, though it's expected that the downloads will be available only to households with UK TV licenses.
Before that happens, the BBC is set to offer license-holders a catch-up service that will let them download any programme from the eight BBC TV channels and watch them on PCs, TVs or mobile phones for up to seven days after transmission.
