BBC to build web page for every TV show

The BBC is to create a web page for every episode of every television program it has ever produced as part of a huge online archive that will span nearly 80 years. The Guardian reports.

"The project has already seen the corporation create more than 160,000 individual web pages over the past three months, with developers looking to create content for shows going back to the 1930s.

... The new web pages would include basic data about each show as well as where it could be seen, either on television, the iPlayer broadband catch-up service or elsewhere on the internet, as well as video or audio clips."
