Subtitles for old programmes

user-2469

Hi. I know that the BBC maintains copies of subtitles long-term on its www.bbc.co.uk server. For example, I found this one from way back in 2014:

Programme PID:
b046w2n8

Version PID:
b046w28j

Subtitles URL:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/subtitles/n...592874.xml

Is it possible to download subtitles for specific "old" (not available on the iPlayer) programmes?

It looks like the site subtitles.toh.info tried to keep track of the subtitles, but that stopped a couple of years ago. I'm hoping there's a current alternative either via get_iplayer or some other way.

Thanks!
