Now and Next for /programmes

Would it be possible to add a now and next to /programmes? I know there is /ataglance you can stick on the end of /programmes/schedules/ but now and next would mean you don't even need to scan the listings. I'm being slightly lazy as for my application I could parse the xml feed for the schedule and figure out what is on now and next myself, but others might find it useful for other reasons.

I've noticed they've started working again, so whether that was down to this thread or not, nice one! (Except Radio 2 is still not working).

So, the only other question is what causes it to break so often?

BBC Radio now playing feeds on last.fm are broken

Hi,

I know it isn't supported, but I just thought I'd let you know your integration to last.fm that pushes now playing artist and track information seems to have died just after 5pm yesterday (note that Radio 2's never started working again, and has been broken since 18th July).

If possible can you explain why it is a bit unstable?

Cheers,
Chris
