Now Next information for BBC Programmes
Lots of feature patches are being committed at the moment on BBC Programmes which means lots of nice new stuff to talk about. Tom has mentioned a couple of the current batch, but I thought I’d reiterarte the upcoming stuff because it was work I was involved in.
The upcoming views are essentially Now/Next on the bbc. They are now exposed as Json, XML and Yaml as well as a fun txt view which Nic also implemented a while back on schedules. Below are many examples, so you get the idea.

[HINT]: If you use Firefox, you can type view-source: at the start of the urls below and they will stop the browser trying to download the file. This is useful for viewing the Json and Yaml views.
