How to find Films without categories

user-735

With categories gone, how can we list the movies?

for example, they now look like this:

Code:
276:    Buried - -, BBC One, , default

Any tips? Is it even possible any more?

You've basically answered your own question there.

Look up films on the iPlayer site.

There are still category feeds, e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/formats/...layer.json

Which can be parsed to show information such as:

b03mjdfz episode tv Available The Deep
90m S01E01/01 An Icelandic fisherman survives in the freezing ocean following a shipwreck.
vPID= b03mjdb9 (Original version)
b06gvjwq episode tv Available West
95m S01E01/01 A single mother smuggles herself and her young son out of East Germany to the west.
vPID= b05r6cp0 (Original version)
b007bgt8 episode tv Available Shine
2h S01E01/01 Moving true story of a talented musician's triumph over adversity.
vPID= b000tn10 (Original version)
b01sjsx1 episode tv Available Kind Hearts and Coronets
2h S01E01/01 A rich cad murders eight relatives in order to inherit a dukedom.

The parser used above is written in node.js, at https://github.com/Mermade/bbcparse

The above utility now has a web-based cousin, at: http://mermade.github.io/bbc/category.html
